I was watching Steve Harvey on Oprah yesterday and I must say, I was quite entertained.

I think what Oprah needs is less of Steve Harvey and more of Coach Ferguson.

>>> http://www.CoachFerguson.com

Ole Coach, coulda whipped those people on that show in shape, in no time flat.

It is unfortunate that people want what they are too scared or too chicken —- to give out.

Case in point. There was one lady on the show that said that she wanted a man with an athletic build and nice frame.

I needn’t tell you that she DID NOT have an athletic build or a nice frame. What makes her think that her mate may not want the same thing. And does she not understand the type of work that it takes to maintain such a frame. She’d probably get in an argument in the first day with such a person. People who eat in and workout in a regimented fashion ALWAYS make others feel uncomfortable at the dinner table. I know, I’ve seen it. The people can’t even enjoy their meal. They feel so bad after watching you eat.

Don’t feel bad, get in line. Get with the program.

If you want excellence then come to the table with excellence.

If you want an athletic build, then come to the table with an athletic build.

Don’t come to the table with napkin, knife and fork and expect me to bring the rice, beans and meat. You are taking….YOU ARE STEALING from the program.

As we used to say back in the day…”You gotta bring som’n to get som’n.”

I think that somewhere along the line we get in these situations where we get so “me’-centered and “me”-focused.

Just recently, I had somebody who just really felt like they had to tell me something instead of thinking about what they were saying. This is dumb… stupid no less. Sometimes you have to put yourself on the other end of what you are getting ready to say and ask yourself if that is the right thing to do without injecting your bias. I’ve made this mistake before as well, so I’m very forgiving when it happens to me.

Such is the case in relationships. Move the selfish stuff out the way.

I’ve counseled couples and heard the husband say, “Well she just won’t lose any w8.”

The wife says, “He won’t help me l.o.s.e. the w8!”

To which I reply, “Did he help you eat!?!?”

And that usually finalizes the discussion. Because the person in this case has a couple of choices. Either you get in the game or you ride the bench. And when you are riding the bench, please understand this………That Means You Ain’t The Starter!!

So with that being said.

Be the change that you want to see!

And if you are having some problems just go here and hash ‘em out >>> http://www.ChumpRepellent.com

Yesterday my wife brought home some salad and some pizza.

Although I really dig eating pizza, I refused to eat a piece. And then my wife and I began conversing and laughing and BOOM! Before I knew it, there I was, eating a slice of pizza.

I was not mad nor disappointed, I just see now how quickly we associate food with having a good time. After I realized I was eating it, I shrugged my shoulders and finished it off knowing that I would have to bump my cardio workouts up from 30 minutes to 1 hour for next couple of days.

For those of you who started the thirty day challenge with me yesterday…great! Keep up the good work and keep your email check-ins coming.

For those of you who have not started yet, please start today. Today is the last day to get in. See rules here: http://strengthking.rhadi.com/?p=566

If you could change one thing about your body, what would it be?

Your arms?

The way your legs look?

The extra-ness you have on the side?

What would it be?

I certainly can’t offer you a plastic surgery solution but I can give you a surgical procedure that require CUTTING the negative things out of your mind about yourself and inserting in the positive.

I’ve been reading a lot lately and I usually rotate a couple of book at a time. I just finished the last chapter of Fooled by Randomness and am now reading the Psychology of Persuasion by Cialdini.

What I’ve been noticing from reading is that people form opinions of others and opinions of you and what you need to do is CUT OUT all opinions which have been formed about you and cut out the negative ones that you keep and adhere to and create a new opinion of yourself.

Here’s something my Dad taught me that I thought was absolutely ridiculous and silly at the time, but it works.

My ole man used to tell me to get up in the morning and look in the mirror and say, “Rhadi, I love you. You are the best in the world and a champion and you will do whatever it is that you set your mind to doing today.”

I used to say it over and over and over and over and over and over again. And I used to say it at the Olympic Training Center.  As I got older I added to my positive affirmation statements but what’s most important is that my morning affirmation statements started working like a magical FORCE FIELD against negativity.

People would see me and think that I was arrogant.

Their opinion meant NOTHING to me. I was focused. While they were talking. I was doing. I was writing books, shooting DVDs, scripting marketing campaigns, creating business relationships, taking classes, working on my PhD, fine tuning my parenting skills, become a better friend, lover and mate for my wife and doing all the things which were necessary to keep the world inside of my FORCE FIELD running smoothly.

And after I got myself together, I could start focusing on everybody else.

Well, this weekend, I’m graduating from Capella University with my PhD in education.

People ask me all the time how I do.

They ask how did I stay so motivated.

They want to know how did I balance sports, life and marriage.

They want to know how I built an fitness, sports and educational business.

And I can understand why they want to know…it’s because some of us are driven and some of us need to be driven. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

It’s like taking a long drive.  You can drive for most of the way and then when you get tired, you need to be driven and then you can pick it up once you get recharged.

Well, right now I want to recharge your life.

If you are thinking about losing weight, going back to school, starting a family, making more money, winning a world championship or losing the deadbeat friends that you have what you need right now is the solution for your problem…..

You need to get a hold of Chump Repellent.

Now I’m not here to sell you anything. As a matter of fact, I could care less if you buy it. I’m not concerned about your purchase. I’m CONCERNED about you getting the help that you need to achieve the goals that you want.

You just can’t put a price tag on success, but you can surely stick one on failure.

World Class Strength Coach

Hello, this is Rhadi Ferguson, your local e-neighboorhood strength coach.

I just got back in town from New York after coaching this weekend and providing the commentary for the finals of the New York Judo Open. For those who frequent my blog http://www.TheJudoCrusader.com please stop by tomorrow and read the update. I had a great time at the New York Open this year and met a Brazilian Jiujitsu Legend.

For those of you who follow me on Twitter - http://www.Twitter.com or Facebook you know that I’ve been working out and training at home for a while.

It has been widely accepted that the biggest obstacles to getting fit are:

Motivation or lack of willpower
Access to healthy foods
Access to exercise facilities
Financial resources
Support from partner/family/friends
Finding diet/fitness plan

I want to remove all of these obstacles from you by bringing the re-emergence of Maximum Dumbbell Training and I want to inform you that I will also provide you with 12 Weeks of email follow-up to make sure that you have EXACTLY what you need.

Also before I release it tomorrow I want to let you know that if you need a good diet-plan, please make sure that you get The BackYard Workout and get the easiest diet plan and workout ever for the beginner and for the for the expert.

Tomorrow I will provide you with the link so that you can get your hands on Maximum Dumbbell Training.

Take care and have a great day.

=============
Okay, here’s the
deal…
=============

Either you or someone you know has lied.

That’s right, I said it.  YOU OR SOMEBODY YOU KNOW.

Oh, you sat there on December 31st, 2008 and you said:

- I’m going to get to gym
- I’m going to l-o-s-e this weight
- I’m gong to get right for the beach
- I’m going to get back into that dress
- I’m going to get back down to my “fightin’ weight”

Well, well, well……Look at yourself now.

What happened.

(hold on one moment, if this email doesn’t pertain to you PLEASE pass it on to someone who it does pertain to. Let’s save someone’s life today, please?  Thank you).

So…what happened?

I’ll tell you what happened…

You’ve been watching television and arguing whether President Obama is right or wrong or if “the surge” worked of if it didn’t.

You’ve been talking about the recession and the economy.

You’ve been financial gymnastics with your budget and you’ve been stressing yourself out and before you know it you haven’t been spending time with the most important person you know —– YOU!!

============
I promise you
this….
============

If you don’t get yourself into some good shape you are going to be even more stressed.

And you can trust me… I KNOW how to handle stress. I workout in the morning, I just finished my Ph.D. studies, I have a wife and a son, I run a business and I watch Fox News everyday and the Bill O’Reilly show just so I can practice regulating my blood pressure.  And I run marathons and 1/2 marathons to pass the time.

Why am I telling you this….well because you DO have enough time to get yourself in great shape even with all of the things that you have to do during the day.

You ask, “How?”

Well, here is a bona fide solution.

==============
I’m Back On It!!!
==============

If you’ve been following me on Facebook, you’ll notice that I started back training with my Dumbbells in the morning.

That’s right - Dumbbells.

I have a pair of 8lb dumbbells and 12lb dumbbells and I get busy in the morning with my dumbbell workout.

And the great thing is that the workout is smooth, easy, yet challenging when I want it to be. And my body is hot….Well, at least my wife thinks so and that’s all that matters when you really get down to it 

Sorry about that… I got a little carried away….. Ahem….. As I was saying, anybody can do my Dumbbell Workout.

As a matter of fact, I jumped back on the dumbbell training program because my doggone shoulders were hurting so bad and I need to increase my strength as well as my range of motion and I need to lift while also getting in a quality cardio workout because when I was writing my dissertation my time was just limited.

So I got back on the dumbbells and started to tighten my body back up.

And guess what…. I want you to get “tight” too.

=============
Here’s what I’m
gonna do for you
=============

Last year I removed my DVD Maximum Dumbbell Training off the face of the earth because I wanted to add something to it that so many training DVDs and programs don’t have and that is something that is of the utmost importance……THE FOLLOW-UP!!

So now what I’ve created is a 12 week follow-up e-training program so now when you get Maximum Dumbbell Training I will follow you for 12 weeks and encourage you and help you get the body that you want in the time you are looking for.

I know some of you want to know… “Why Now?”

Well, think about it.

We are literally 8-10 weeks from the beginning of the Summer and I MUST help you get your “beach body”  back.

So on Tuesday, March 10th, I am going to provide the reemergence of MAXIMUM DUMBBELL TRAINING!!

This is the Ultimate Physical Stimulus Package.

Coming on March 10th, 2009

So, be on the lookout for my email, tweet or blog post on March 10th, 2009.
