How it works

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

Train Monday, Wednesday and Friday through four volume weeks and four heavy weeks, or finish after the four volume weeks. Raise starting maxima by five percent to get projected maxima and round those upward to your chosen projection unit. Choose volume set counts within their ranges and round working weights to your chosen increment. Bench before squats and deadlifts. Use competition equipment in the heavy phase.

What you need

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

  • Flat bench
