How it works

The program’s own rules, as Catalyst runs them.

Train three nonconsecutive days a week with at least forty-eight hours between workouts. Use the same push-up variation for comparable tests. Your initial clean maximum determines where you start: zero through five uses the first set of targets in week one, six through ten the second, and eleven through twenty the third; more than twenty starts in week three. Five belongs in the first group. Repeat any training week you do not complete successfully. After weeks two, four and five, recover and test your clean maximum again to choose the next targets. Below sixteen after week two means repeat earlier work. Thirty or less after week four lets you return to week three or four. Forty-five or less after week five means repeat week five. After week six, rest one or two days and test your final maximum. One hundred clean reps completes the challenge; otherwise choose to return to week five or six. Test your maximum at each of these points; completing the workouts does not replace a test. Each final training set gives a minimum: continue for as many clean reps as you can. Rest periods are minimums, and you may rest longer.
