Hello All!
What is considered to be heavy lifting? Is it better then using weights that are not so heavy and doing more reps? How long does it take to see results? Will I need to drink portein shakes? Thanks in advance

Heavy lifting in my opinion would be below 8 reps, less reps more muscle, results... ehhhh that depends on so many things diet/programme/genetics etc... you don't need protein shakes but they are very handy and whey is the best protein for muscle growth.0
