Troops Sound Off About Combat Conditioning
Dear Friend,
Yesterday a disgruntled reader of this daily newsletter
complained. He said I never give you a single tip in any
way, shape or form. He said this n/l is "nothing but a sales
pitch."
Well, here's the raw, naked, unadulterated truth:
1. There are tips in every newsletter I send out. Some are
motivational. Some are instructional. At the same time,
every n/l contains a light offer to buy a product, if "you" so choose,
and that ain't-a-gonna-change.
2. Although I give many, many exercise and health tips - some
readers are blind to the tip because they are not "doers." They want
everything spelled out to them for nuthin - and I mean "everything."
My personal policy has been and will always be as follows: I don't bend
over backward to please moochers, cry babies, tire kickers and "n'er
do wells."
Those who have my books and videos have absolutely no problem at
all mining the gold from each daily tip. In fact, thousands of readers
of
this gratis n/l also subscribe to my paid monthly CD and newsletter via
the
Matt Furey Inner Circle and
they do
so because they want even more - and believe me, those folks receive an
abundance of information each month from me. Why? Because they are
"doers."
3. Even those who haven't purchased a single thing from me often write
to
tell me how much I have influenced their lives for the better and
sometimes,
how they feel bad because they haven't bought from me yet and so on.
Naturally, absolutely no pressure is put on this person to "buy now" -
or
else. All in good time. People will either buy from me and learn - or
they
won't - and although I do my best to influence people to change their
lives
via the purchase of my products - which really do everything that the
ads claim
they do - I will not lose sleep over someone looking the other way. Tis
the way
of the world and I accept that.
4. Yesterday I received a call from a good friend. He's one of the few
people on
this planet who has my direct phone number - so when I say he's a
friend, I mean
it. Anyway, once he and I commenced to talking, he referred to the tip
in yesterday's
email about how I stretch like a cat (and a dog) every morning upon
awakening. He
and I had a five minute conversation on this very tip. It was a gem.
The "doers" cauught
it. The "he's pitching his product again" people missed it because
they're more focused
on keeping moths in their wallet than they are on improving their lives.
5. On Thursday I wrote about my 32-year old neighbor who, despite
having a bench
press of 500 lbs., is ready to leave the weights. Why? Because he's in
pain and already
feeling old. This was a "tip." Sure, the tip also sells my product -
but it "is" a tip that can
stand on it's own as well. My message (via my neighbor) was motivating
to the countless
men and women who are wrecking their bodies with weights; not to
mention the hundreds of thousands who are following the Furey Method,
and simply like reinforcement of what they
already know is true.
6. On Wednesday I wrote about my approach to fitness. A "never stop
learning"
approach. Many readers wrote to tell me that they agreed and follow the
same
line of reasoning.
7. On Tuesday a S. Sgt. in the Air Force wrote a riveting report about
dropping 3 inches
from his waist with the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener as taught in
Combat Abs - Received tons of fan mail on
that one.
8. On Monday I gave 5 Exercises that Increase Seks Drive. Bare minimum
of
five tips in Monday's n/l. But not if you're a "ne'r do well." Nope. If
you're not a
doer - you didn't get nuthin.
Now, you might ask, "Where's the tip in today's n/l, Furey?"
Glad you asked. There are many tips in this email - but the central
tip, although
not directly spelled out for you ... has been right before you, from
word one.
And that tip is ... "In the face of criticism, continue to fight for
what you believe in
and make no apologies for doing so."
Every day I receive emails that criticize me and condemn me. Every
single day!!!
This is nothing new. It's been going on almost from the time I started
my info-publishing business in 1996.
Over the past week I've had a couple people that I coach write me and
tell
me about the person(s) on their email list who sent them a scathing
rebuke.
And they asked me if I receive these type of emails.
Uh - yeah. Like all the time.
My advice to these people was simple: If you're not being attacked, you
ain't
doing nuthin.
Now, mark my words, there will be people on this very list who will
write to tell me
and say that my spelling is terrible. They'll actually try to teach me
the correct way to
spell werdz like "seks" and "nuthin." As if I don't already know. Tis
mind-boggling,
ya know.
As an aside, I had a guy from Malaysia write to tell me that I spelled
"seks"
correctly. For Malaysians, that is. Now what do you say about that?
So here's the bottom line: If you're a "doer" - then stick with me. If
you're a
n'er do well - well, there's this link at the bottom of this n/l - and
it allows you
to unsubscribe in a heartbeat. If you want to stay, "I luv you man."
And if'n
you wants to go - I wish you well.
Anyway, enough of that. I have a couple awesome letters from "the
troops." One
is coming from South Korea and the other from Iraq. Read on and be
inspired:
Thanks Matt!
My name is Perry Voorhees and I am a Sergeant in the army. I am
currently
stationed in Korea. I recieved your Combat Conditioning in the mail
about a
week ago - and since
then
I've been going strong.
I routinely do push-ups for physical training every morning and to tell
you the
truth it gets kinda boring. Anyway, long story short, I was in charge
of instructing
physical training this morning and decided it was time to unleash Furey
on my soldiers.
We did some Hindu squats and some Hindu push-ups (and by "some" I mean
10-20)
and my soldiers were SHOCKED!. We routinely do 50-70 regular push-ups
so this was
a big eye-opener for them.
A few even asked me to borrow my copy of Combat Conditioning. I told
them to get
their own. I just want to thank you for sharing your dedication to
training and your
extensive research. Utilizing your methods, I plan on making my squad
the strongest
around. Thanks again!
SGT Perry Voorhees
M.F.: Sgt Voorhees, this is great. I especially like the part where some
of the guys wanted to
"mooch" the book from you. Don't ever let that happen. If you do,
you'll never get
the book back. Many of my students have learned this the hard way and
have had
to buy numerous copies. Keep me posted on the progress of y'all. Be
sure to mix
in some exercises where all they do is hold the position. This can be
done with the
tablemakers, stretchers - as well as the bridges. Making the troops
hold for a good
minute with deep breathing will make even bigger men out of them. All
the best.
Matt,
Over the past few weeks you have been focusing on weight loss in your
daily
emails.
I would like to give you "my" story.
I'm a high school teacher and coach but I'm currently deployed in Iraq
with the
Kansas Army National Guard. My days are long and often hectic. I'm
away from
my wife and 3 young kids and the stress level is high to say the least.
I was a weight lifter for several years. I have always been under
weight for my build.
I'm six foot tall with broad shoulders and long limbs. I graduated from
high school at
145 lbs.
I started lifting weights in 1992. I tried all of the routines. But
nothing would give me
the results I wanted. I did gain weight but I was stuck for more than
10 years of fairly
consistent lifting.
I didn't get the results I wanted. All I gained was a sore shoulder,
bad neck,
and painful kness.
Enter Combat Conditioning 4 months ago. I don't even remember how I
found
your web site but I ordered the book. I was very sceptical but decided
to try it
anyway.
Boy was I surprised. The Royal Court was much more difficult than I
expected.
It was all I could do to complete 30 Hindu squats and 10 Hindu pushups.
This after multiple years of weight lifting.
So what have my results been? I can now do 50 Hindu pushups, and 100
Hindu
squats with out stopping. The bridge has virtually eliminated my neck
pain and
my shoulder doesn't hurt anymore. I have lost two inches off my waist
and even
though my friends told me I would lose weight after I stopped lifting
weights I have
actually gained 3 pounds. I am a solid 178lbs and have never felt
better in my life.
I ordered Combat Abs and
can't wait
for it to get here to Iraq.
Thank you for the phenominal products Matt. They have been a great
boost for this once "skinny" guy.
God bless,
Sgt. Gregg Walls
US Army, Iraq
M.F.: Sgt Wells, all I can say is ... "awesome." I love the fact that
you were skeptical. And
I love the fact that the "naysayers" thought they knew what the result
of Combat Conditioning
style training would be. I'm betting one thing, though. Even though
you've gotten the
results you have, a lot of them still think you're doing it wrong.
Well, as I always say, "To
hell with 'em." Keep up the fine work. My thoughts are with you over
there is this troubling
time.
Well, my friend, tis all for today.
Kick butt - take names!
