🟢 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.

Is variety the key to consistency in fitness?
I'm 39 years old. I started doing CrossFit when I was 36 and BJJ (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) when I was 37. Before that, I spent years at a fairly standard gym, but I was looking for a change. Currently, a normal week for me is going to the gym about 5 times (sometimes 6, sometimes 4): 2 to 3 days at the standard gym, 1 or 2 days at CrossFit, and 1 day at BJJ. There are a number of potential criticisms of this- "You'll never really progress at BJJ going only once a week," or "You'll miss out on the intentional programming at CrossFit if you don't go more often," or "You're targeting muscle groups so infrequently with random days at a regular gym," among others. As time goes on, I'm less confident those criticisms are accurate, but even if they are, this more varied routine is something I'm really enjoying. Some weeks, due to work and other factors, I miss going to CrossFit and/or BJJ. My days at the standard gym involve usually a barbell movement initially (squats, front squats, deadlifts, or romanian deadlifts), followed by a variety of movements, 4 or 5 sets for each, not really planned in advance. Each day, I usually do just one and at most two movements for a given muscle group- avoiding the "chest day, arm day," etc. mindset which often leads to diminishing returns on a given day due to "junk volume" for a muscle group as I learned from a great coach. There's a lot more I could say about CrossFit, but overall, it's the best combination of strength and cardio I've ever found. For BJJ- it was something which was way outside my prior experiences and comfort zone. It also incorporates a lot of mobility and core strength in ways I didn't anticipate. There can definitely be value in following a more consistent and specific fitness program/routine. But there can also be value in mixing things up. What do you think? What has worked or hasn't worked for you?
