Re: Gary Bencivenga --- I'm not impressed!

Fortunately for him, Gary's job isn't to impress anyone.

He (self-admittedly) isn't the most talented "writer."

Re: [Critique Request] - VSL Landing Page

How much do women care about being "strong?" Unless they already lift... it's probably not their primary motivation. And if they're lifters, they probably aren't looking for a weight loss program....
