How it works

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

Train on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in order. Choose conservative goals and use the kilogram weight increments. Choose each movement setup and any unspecified assistance before starting. Decide on another cycle afterward.

What you need

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