How it works

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

Do the workouts in order. Before training, read the exercise setup and weight guidance, then choose weights for that workout. Decide the amount of any work without a set amount before doing it.

What you need

Everything its exercises call for. Missing something? The app suggests swaps that train the same thing.

  • Barbell
  • Flat bench
  • Squat rack
