Vacuum the fat off your waistline with 5-second muscle flexing. No situps or crunches required! Rapid results!

Hype, hype, hype.

Double your felxibility in one evening? Yeah right. This guy is just prying off fat out of shape people who want a quick fix. Nothing is easy, and if you're not willing to work at it than you don't deserve to have it.

Re:

Truth...

Furey IS a marketing machine. I hadn't bought anything until he'd sent 20+ emails. But then I bought combat conditioning and combat abs. He sent along some freebie stuff.

All though he DOES overhype his products, they're all LEGIT. The exercises are the same exercises gymnasts and wrestlers do. They focus on strength, stamina, conditioning, and flexibility. They're a great supplement to a lifting schedule or yoga schedule.

His basic exercises are known as the "Court." They are 3. Hindu Squats, Hindu Pushups, and Back Bridges. For what, $30, it was worth it. Maybe $30 per book. Yet still, the type of exercises he recommends are life long, can be done anywhere, anytime, and you never get tired or exceed their usefulness. You just keep pushing, like animals in the jungle. Moreover, being able to move your BODY through SPACE is the pinnacle of fitness. The more pushups, the more pullups/chinups, or free squats you can do, the better fitness you'll have.

I personally enjoy them, because of the variation they provide to my total program. Can you figure this out on your own? Perhaps. I didn't know of any of his stuff or the wrestling exercises until he presented it to, so I paying $30 seems a bit trivial in the grand scheme of things.

They are not magic exercises, UNLESS you're not exercising at all. They work great alone, or in complement with other true lifting exercises. He does advocate ONLY HIS stuff, because he sees more detriment than benefit to doing weights. And he is partially right, as well as considerably more experienced than me at this stuff. Shoulders, rotator cuffs, blowing out a back, and other exercises should be enough to turn some people completely onto his program.

The only thing aside from his hype marketing machine I heard to the negative is that he beefed up using weights THEN switched to his own stuff. But personally having done them, I can attest to the results and the difficulty of what Matt Furey Suggests.

Just don't think it's the latest/greatest program out there. It isn't. And there never will be. But it is one of a kind.

If you ever seen pictures of him doing he's routine, he is definitely the real deal. How many of you in this thread can do complete upside down pushups.

Wouldn't that be a dip?

maybe he means handstand pushups?
