How it works

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

Train the four-week block with fixed maxima, choosing every movement before starting. Keep the separate reps and rounds for each movement in assistance pairs and the timed plank holds. Before lifting, choose the maximum used for each percentage and plan any otherwise unspecified work. Follow pauses and lowering counts as technique instructions.
