    how heavy do you have to lift to see good results like this?

    "heavy" means heavy for you. Doesn't matter how heavy for you compares with someone else. You just want to get to where you can do 6 to 8 reps of the exercise, but not much more. I feel happy when I fail at my last lift (safely, some exercises I don't risk failure because I don't want to risk injury). There were suggestions earlier of New Rules (which I'm using and agree with) and Stronglifts and the Nerdfitness body weight exercises. I am not familiar with those plans, but they are reputable sources and some great people on here say great things, which is good enough for me.

    I was going to say the same thing :) Something you can lift for 6-8 reps, the last couple of reps a struggle but still maintaining good form.

    If you lift to failure, you will need a spotter for some exercises.
