Hey everyone, I’m 48 years old and a firefighter for the past 20 years. I’m really glad to be part of this group of Catholic men who want to grow stronger in faith, fitness, and discipline. Through my career, I’ve learned how important it is to stay physically and mentally tough, but I also know that true strength comes from our prayer life and relationship with God. I’m looking forward to growing alongside you all—supporting each other as we push ourselves to be better men, husbands, fathers, and brothers in Christ. Let’s keep each other accountable and inspired on this journey. Excited to get started!

Hi Gang! I joined Skool because I am looking to try and lean out after losing a bunch of weight. BUT...I need some tips and motivation! I travel for work a lot and need some "on the road" options. I am a practicing Catholic and I am still learning and growing in my faith journey at 57 years young.😀

🟢 PURPOSE - The purpose of this community is to bring together Catholic men who are simply sick and tired of living under the thumb of Leftist culture. You put on a mask in public because you fear being judged, or canceled, you went to college because you were supposed to, and you work a job you don't love because you just want to make enough money to provide. - The Catholic communities you've been a part of are very nice...the other guys are good Catholic men. BUT...there's not a strong desire to level up. To be be fulfilled in your labor. To become financially independent. To be jacked. To be socially atrractive. To be the best version of yourself. ❓ WHY DOES THIS MATTER? - IT IS OUR BELIEF that the best way to push the needle back towards tradition is for Catholic men to crush it in life. Being on top of their game in all areas is what truly inspires others. And by others I mean people who don't think like us. - This means they don't trade their values for a paycheck - they either work for a company with similar values, or do their own thing. They don't allow themselves to be out of shape - it's not inspiring. They don't allow themselves to be awkward - social attractiveness is necessary for evangilizing. - If we're TRULY going to win back the culture, we're going to do so through influence. But to be influential, we need to be exceptional. 🟢 PATH The path towards this goal is simple: 1. Get in Shape 2. Figure out what you're meant to do in life 3. Learn how to monetize it 4. Do that as much as you can while fulfilling familial duties 5. Do it at an exceptional standard so you influence others - This community will act as a hub for us to inpire others, form connections, and build each other up. We want each other to win. 🟢 PROGRESS Each Tier of the Based & Built Academy has Levels. The courses at each level are designed to help you self-develop in a variety of areas. Take what you can at each level, implement it, and progress to the next level. When you're ready, you can apply to the next Tier where more training, resources and mentorship is available to help you keep growing.

Alright bro, lemme hit you with some knowledge.You've been fasting. You’re hungry. You don’t wanna blow it before your post fast-break meal. So, what’s the game plan?Think nuts. Almonds or walnuts. Easy to grab. Good fats, protein, no junk. Keeps ya sane till the feast.Protein bars. But not those loaded with sugar, bro. Look for high protein and low carb.Greek yogurt, plain. Add some berries if you want a kick. Keeps those calories low and gives you the probiotics.Handful of baby carrots. Yeah yeah, veggies ain't glamorous, but they do the trick.Stay away from sugary stuff or starchy junk. Fills you up like hot air. Not a great start to your feast.Body is a temple, right? 1 Cor 6:19. Let's keep it holy – even snack-wise.Hope this helps. God bless

Today I coached my student and he did amazing I couldn’t be prouder. After that, I decided to challenge myself by stepping into no-gi. I was nervous, but I prayed before the match and came out with a win by submission. This reminded me that growth comes from facing fear with faith. I still have a long way to go, in BJJ and in life, but I’ll keep training, keep learning, and keep staying grounded in God’s word. Keep pushing forward, stay strong, and God bless everyone be safe out there.”
