How it works

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

Train on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for seven weeks, taking week four for active recovery after the first three weeks. Choose the active-recovery work yourself. Add the deadlift increases before rounding kilogram weights down to a multiple of 2.5 kg. Finish with one squat single at 105%. Choose assistance weights and how to progress them, and substitute pull-ups according to what your shoulders tolerate.
