Rest Days Are Non-Negotiable Bro
Here's the deal: you ain't getting stronger by tearing your body apart every single day. Consistency is king, but REST is his queen.I used to think training 7 days a week made me a beast. But you know what that got me? Injuries & burnout... not gains đYour muscles grow when you REST, not when you lift. The hard work you do breaking down muscle fibers in the gym doesn't mean squat if you don't give them time to repair and grow back stronger đȘđ»Think of rest days like a pit stop. Even race cars need maintenance. Ever notice God took a day off after creation? Genesis 2:2. If the Big Man can rest, so can you.Taking a rest day isn't lazy. It's smart. And obedience to the natural laws God set in place. Skip the rest days, and you'll plateau or worse... regress.Next time you feel guilty lounging on a Sunday, remember that rest is part of the divine design. Your body rebuilds, revitalizes, and readies itself for the battles ahead.Letting your body rejuvena

Handling lust in my first relationship
Hi fellas, I am going out with a (non-Catholic) girl for the first time, and I am currently wrestling with lust/desire/intrusive thoughts. Do you have any advice on boundaries, and how to set them? Thanks and God Bless.

Above all, my friend, take it to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and pray the Rosary for clarity and strength. Furthermore, I recommend you to chastise your flesh by fasting, abstinence, cold showers, intense physical exercise and/or hard manual labor to keep your passions and pleasures under the rule of reason and faith. As to this girl you are dating, pray for her conversion and treat her with the utmost deference and tender love. Keep your relationship chaste, do not rush things. Talk about important things and examine her principles, again ALL IN RESPECTFUL CHARITY. If she is one without a virtuous disposition, quietly and kindly resolve to put her away. Preferably, you should marry a virtuous Catholic ladyâtherefore, ask God to indicate to you His Will in this crucial matter. Finally, have recourse to St. Joseph, he wonât fail you! Believe me, I have witnessed his powerful intercession with couples in a great manner. Take my advice for what itâs worth, for I am a youth myself. But this I ask: turn to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, Our Holy Mother Mary and Saint Joseph! You wonât be disappointed. Amen! So be it!

Introduction Post!
Hi everyone, I'm Charles Ripley, an 18-year-old from the UK currently converting from agnosticism to Catholicism. God willing, I will enter into communion with the Church next February! I joined this community to meet other Catholic men who are perhaps facing similar challenges in terms of fitness, diet, and faith. Personally, I struggle most with lust and gluttony even though I train regularly. Right now, and when I go to university next month, I feel slightly isolated as a Christian amongst my atheist friends so I really appreciate this community and hope I can help in any way I can! God Bless. â€ïž

Welcome, Charles! Thanks be to God for your conversion! I am hoping you are finding the necessary edification for your soul and encouragement in the Faith and fitness. Aim for great holiness, my friend, and surrender yourself more and more to Godâs Will. Amen! So be it!

The Pope's invitation to prayer and fasting
If you weren't expecting to fast today, remember that in the old testament sometimes the king would declare a fast on the same day and tell everyone not to eat until evening. It's one mark of a warrior to be able to change the plan and adapt.

I am a young Roman Catholic, and I want to become physically fit to more effectively serve God. I am discerning the priesthood, and Salesian at heart!
