What kind of specialist physician would best be able to advise on a training regime - nutrition, exercise, the whole kit and kaboodle - for serious body sculpting and/or weight loss? Sports medicine? Any other medical specialties? Any recommendations for such a person in New York?

I have heard that if a high-level bodybuilder suddenly stops all exercise, they will experience major health problems (possibly fatal). Is this true? If so, why? [more inside]

I desire hulking guns and beefiness all over. [more inside]

I'm interested in finding good, scientific, non-biased information on weight lifting. Almost everything I seem to find online and in print is either unsupported or linked somehow to supplement manufacturers. Where can I find real deal?
