How it works

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

Choose conservative training maxima from a difficult-day single or a good-day triple. On Thursday and Friday, finish with one AMRAP set at the final Tier 1 weight. Choose accessories yourself. After the four-week block, decide whether to increase your maxima.

What you need
