It depends on what your goals are. Are you going for mass, strength, athleticism, etc.. A few years ago, before the fire academy, I weighed 140 lbs and was weak as shit. I lifted heavy (with low reps) and ate like a horse and am currently up to 185lbs.

I actually just started crossfit with some buddies from work and I feel so out of shape. It's a whole different ball game.

I looked big and felt strong but I couldn't do any cardio to save my life. I'd run a mile and feel like dying. Trying to change that now

In terms of true fitness its way more about cardio than the digits you can lift. Your heart can only take so much strain, so don't aim to become the next Ultimate Warrior.

A healthy heart is important, I'd recommend running/swimming over weights...but there's no reason why you can't do both and have "lean definition" :)
