How it works

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

Choose one lift and keep its maximum throughout the cycle. Round weights to one pound or one kilogram rather than to available plates.

What you need

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