The program’s usual settings
Every workout, as Catalyst would give it to you from the example numbers.
Each lift’s heaviest set, workout by workout, over the first 11 weeks, if every set is done as written.
A forecast, not a promise: it assumes every set is done as written. In the app, what you actually lift decides what comes next, by the program’s own rules.
Working sets in the first week for each muscle, counted once for each muscle an exercise trains.
| Muscle | Main mover | Helping |
|---|---|---|
| Gluteals | 2 | 0 |
| Hamstrings | 2 | 0 |
| Spinal erectors | 0 | 2 |

The program’s own rules, as Catalyst runs them.
Keep the same maximum for all eleven weeks. Round weights to one pound or one kilogram, and choose the warm-up work you need.
Everything its exercises call for. Missing something? The app suggests swaps that train the same thing.
