How it works

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

Train bench 3 times a week in order, repeating four-week cycles. Get the reps, sets and percentages before starting, and choose the exact variation, preparation, assistance, rest and rounding with your workout instructions. After the last workout, choose the maximum for your next cycle based on your one-rep maximum. Plan your own test attempts. This is a separate bench-only program.

What you need

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

  • Barbell
  • Flat bench
  • Squat rack
