  1. you will have to continue exercising if you want to keep the muscle. once you stop, the muscle will deteriorate.
  2. strong muscles only if you don't use steroids they make it better at first but in the long run you will be weaker than you started
  3. do it as long as YOU want to. When you stop, as long as you don't overeat nothing will happen, but any exercise is good for you.
  4. well, if you stop your muscles will get smaller obviously, but nothing else will happen! side effects? not at all, some people say that muscles will stunt your growth or make your arms immobile but that is all B.S. trust me ( my dad is 6f 3in and worked out since 8th grade, i myself have been working out since the 5th grade and im growing and still growing absoulutely normaly.(im 14 and 5 7)
  5. yea if you wanna maintain your look, going to have to keep lifting.
