How it works

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

Keep separate front-squat and back-squat maxima and do the warm-ups in order before working sets. On the final front- and back-squat test days, choose attempts beforehand and stop when you cannot complete the required rep. Tests do not change the maxima used for this cycle.
