#391: Mike Pantile: How to Build a Man

In this week’s Patrick Coffin Show, men’s coach Mike Pantile (panTEElay) discusses the crisis of masculinity in the modern world, highlighting the importance of fitness, self-discipline, and recovery from pornography addiction. 

 

The Canadian Pantile (literally one of the strongest men in Canada) emphasizes the need for men to reject the superficial values of movements like the secular Manosphere and Black Pill influencers like Andrew Tate and instead embrace biblical masculinity, which is rooted in strength, virtue, and a commitment to faith. 

 

He also underscores the significance of being a strong Catholic as a foundation for overcoming personal struggles and living a life of purpose and integrity. Come on. The man can deadlift 800 lbs—listen up!
