Why this order
The workout starts with heavy barbell compound movements to recruit the most muscle fiber early when you are fresh. We then transition to handle-based isolation and higher-rep finishers to drive metabolic stress and maximize fat oxidation. This order minimizes equipment changes while moving from multi-joint to single-joint patterns.

How do I choose the right starting weight?
Tonal will suggest a starting weight based on your initial strength assessment. For this high-rep session, feel free to slightly lower the weight if you cannot maintain the recommended pace.
Can I use Spotter Mode on these movements?
Yes, Spotter Mode is highly recommended for the Barbell Seated Lat Pulldown to ensure you complete every rep safely as you fatigue.
Why are the rep counts higher than usual?
