How it works
The program’s own rules, as Catalyst runs them.
Train the workouts in order. Choose equipment where a movement leaves it open. Before lifting, choose weights using the percentage or weight reduction as guidance. Follow the reps and effort targets, and review the tempo, pauses and technique with your coach. Decide your rest between sets and when to review your performance yourself.
