He says that when u work out your legs u get increased amounts of Testosterone, and this will help your arms get bigger quicker. 1) Is this tru 2) If this is tru, how should i place a legs work out into my routine.. should i like do it the day before i workout my arms or the day after.....or the same day. Thx in advance.

It will release more testosterone. BUT you still need the #1 key in building muscle, diet. If you are not eating right lifting all the weights in the world will do nothing. I used to follow a Chest/tricep Back/bicep Leg shoulder routine. It worked well for me for years. I truly feel that squats, bent rows, deadlifts as well as your curls grew my arms to where they are today. Hope this helps. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk!

I dont eat junk food at all...and i try and get 100+ g protein on days i workout...Basically i need to kno if the release of more testosturone affect only that day of workout or does the testosurone stay in your system for the week ect...I just want the increase amount of re;eased testosturone to affect my arms workout

IT will cause over all body growth to a point. that is all no magic pill or something along that line. It will still take a complete routine, and the one you posted is crap to say the least. 100grams a day is low in my opinion most women get at least that much. try for 1-1.5 grams per lb of bodyweight. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk!

When you work your legs, the largest group in the body, it makes your body release more hormones to help repair the larger mass, thus you get the benefit throughout the body as the hormone levels are now higher. Many threads about this subject I seem to recall reading on the boards here, try a search.
