How do I know if the weight is too heavy for a fat loss goal?
If you cannot complete the higher rep ranges of 12 to 15 with good form, tap the smart handle to lower the digital weight slightly or let Tonal's dynamic weight features adjust for you.
Do I need the bench for the seated movements?
Yes, use the Tonal bench for the Seated Row and Seated Cable Crunch to ensure a stable base for maximum force production and better isolation.
How often should I perform this Pull session?
For optimal fat loss and recovery, perform this workout 1 to 2 times per week, ensuring you have at least one day of rest or a 'Push' day in between.
