There is a new "e-book" on the website that got me into bodyweight workouts (www.mattfurey.com) with the provocative title of "Forget the Weights, Forget the Cardio", it is available for free download to all who sign up for his e-mail list.

For those ready to "think outside the box", or outside the gym in this case, or interested in another type of workout to hit the body with (which we should all be interested in, as you should change your workout frequently for continued gains), I though I'd let you know about it. I don't work for this guy, I am just a fan. As an alternative (and for even more hard-core bodyweight routines), www.dragondoor.com is another great site. Happy working out!

Kudos for Matt Furey. I enjoy his material.

Ok, has anyone tried his fat loss program? I am fascinated by his material so far, but suspicious of paying for information. Is it B.S.? And what is it?

I haven't tried it, but I bet it's pretty good. It's probably not necessary for most people, but some may find it helpful and just the information they needed.

I have tried his: combat conditioning, combat stretching, "fat loss program", handstand training, and carpal tunnel program. They are all great -- the "fat loss" diet, I was using before I started eating low-carb, it is actually pretty similar, essentially, he has you eating meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, eggs, I think dairy, and 1 meal a week you eat whatever the hell you want. Solid. Sort of like the 'carb addicts', or 'paleo diet' books. I actually ended up getting acid reflux during the time I was following his diet, but it's not his fault, I was eating the wrong things. Then again, that shows why you need a more comprehensive explanation of diet, ala atkins, protein power, etc.

as for his workout programs, they are great and worth every cent, imho. he is very biased against weights, but then he was a personal trainer for a long time, and a champion in wrestling/martial arts so he knows what he's talking about.

if you want to know more, sign up for his email list, like i tell everyone, and see how it hits you!

"he has you eating meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, eggs, I think dairy, and 1 meal a week you eat whatever the hell you want. Solid."

I agree, sounds pretty solid to me.

When you developed acid reflux, you weren't by chance taking antibiotics late in the evening, were you? I got acid reflux about 10 years ago from doing this. A couple of days of Prevacid did the trick and not a single problem since.
