How it works

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

Choose the example goals or a complete plan tailored to you. Train Monday, Wednesday and Friday in order, then follow the meet plan. Choose raw or geared setups and prepare each workout before starting. Decide on any later cycle yourself.

What you need

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

  • Back extension bench
  • Barbell
  • Cable stack
  • Deficit platform
  • Flat bench
  • Elevated deadlift pulling blocks
  • Squat rack
