SGT Peterson RSSIs GNC the modern day American snake oil salesman? Well, to start off with they have quite a few questionable products.

People ask me I manage to workout all the time. Aren’t I too tired? Too busy to fit it into my schedule? It can be a painful process, because if you don’t exercise your energy level will go down. You’ll most likely gain weight, become emotional and eat more until you are obese. Web MD [...]
