I've had the pleasure of spending 2 days with Father Capo, a diocesan priest, bodybuilder and influencer 💯 We spend time praying, talking about theology and of course working out 💪 And of course, one of the biggest questions I had to ask him was how does he find time to consistently stay jacked despite his priestly obligations and speaking engagements around the country. His answer was simple, "I never miss a day..even if it's just a quick workout. And I try to work out with other bodybuilders." Makes perfect sense to me and I want to take what he said and condense it into a lesson for all of you. The first part should make sense. Consistency is key. Always has always will be. But the second part..wanting to work out with other bodybuilders has a really important lesson. You become who you surround yourself with ✅ And so if you want to grow in the gym, you should be around people that you want to look like. That means going to the big loud gyms that push you to be uncomfortable, not the confortable community gym with no one big. That means asking the bigger guys questions, not struggling with an exercise and staying quiet. Pushing yourself into discomfort, especially with where and how you work out is the key to growth. So take it from Father Capo and myself, when you're trying to grow in an area, surround yourself with people who are where you want to be in that area! God bless and have a wonderful weekend 🙏

Hi everyone! Tena kotou katoa! I am a Roman Catholic Priest of the diocese of Auckland in Aotearoa New Zealand. I finished my theological studies and seminary training in the Philippines but I was ordained and incardinated here in Auckland, New Zealand on December 2021. It’s great to know that there is a community of catholic men that is serious on getting fit and being the best version of themselves. I have started my fitness journey 4 years ago. Overcame my fear of being intimidated in the gym and motivated myself to focus on my self-improvement both physically, mentally, and spiritually. Nice to be here!
