How it works

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

Choose a max for each exercise. Use full-maximum pulls for multiple reps unless you choose the eighty-five-percent alternative. One clean followed by its press or jerk is one complete rep; move between them without extra rest or doubling the weight. In week four, take two light workouts before heavy Friday. Plan any later light week or cycle yourself. Choose straps, rack or box height, recovery stance, rep counting and assistance weights before training. Percentage weights have no fixed rounding increment.
