What is Mass and Mass?
A movement aimed at getting Catholic men to attend the gym to build mass and attend Mass every Sunday.
The mission
A manly Sunday for Catholic men
This is a simple rule: lift first, then go to Mass. Not vanity. Not self-optimization. Discipline, stewardship, and worship.
“Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13The practice
Keep it simple and repeat it weekly
Every Sunday, train for at least one hour before going to Mass. Bring a change of clothes and use the showers at your gym before you leave.
01
Train
Hit the gym for at least an hour. Lift with focus and without distraction.
02
Prepare
Shower, change, and arrive with the composure that worship deserves.
03
Attend Mass
Go to Mass every Sunday. The discipline of the morning ends at the end of Mass.
Training programs
Use whatever works. Start with something proven.
If you are just getting started with strength training, these are solid beginner-friendly options.
