How it works

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

Train preparation and competition blocks in order, using conservative maxima. Deliberately change a maximum when technique and recovery call for it, but keep the previous maximum close to a meet. Choose assistance movements and weights before lifting and plan competition attempt counts and weights yourself. Some squat or deadlift work uses your bench maximum; keep that weight basis unless you choose a change before training.

What you need

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

  • Barbell
  • Board press block
  • Flat bench
  • Parallel bars
  • Squat rack
