If your goal is to stay healthy to avoid a heart attack then doing some moderate weights a couple times a week will help but it's mainly cardio type activities and proper eating that will keep you healthy. The word supersize should never be part of your vocabulary!
Before your get those kinda muscles that will droop after you stop lifting, you gotta lift for a pretty damn long time. You wont get huge overnight. Its like those people in january that come to the gym. They dont see any results after few weeks and its buhbye time great more room for me! This was also the case with both of my roommates. one went to the gym once with me after trying doing squats and clean and jerk he quickly didnt want any of it. The other one lasted like 3 months but his gut didnt go away like he wanted to so he quit i laughed at him too. Ohh and i eat plenty of supersized stuff, like i said its all about moderation. one big mac with fries wont kill you...

Kasey: if you havent sat in a sauna to cut weight doesnt matter others dont do it.

as far as Arnold book goes... um...Governator was on so much 'roids that even some of my 'roided friends can keep up with his exercises but i guess there's no harm in reading it. i havent read it myself but that's what my friend told me and he actually does bodybuilding...

P.S. speaking of weight loss, i lost 4 pound of water today, working in our "steam room"
