years ago a trainer told me working out the back burns the most fat, so it's really the legs, eh?

I repped for you. Gaz is truly a word artist.

Resistance Training and EPOC

For all the haters in here.

Listen, nobody with half a brain thinks squatting will build bigger arms, okay. Squatting won't even build bigger legs unless you eat.

For anyone who isn't on a cycle, the anabolic response follows workout-induced microtrauma. An arm workout will do this, but a heavy leg workout does it so much more.

Rob Faigin, author of Natural Hormonal Enhancement, says you can tell you're anabolic from your sex drive: http://www.hormonalfitness.com/pdfs/NHE-Chapter-21.pdf

So how about this: train arms with legs, then go home and eat. Your arms (and legs) are now primed for the anabolic response. They're both micro-traumatized, they're both about to get fed, and the increased systemic testosterone will enhance partitioning and protein synthesis wherever the demand is greatest (ie at the sites of recent microtrauma).

Of course, you're going to have to eat more if you do this. You're not just building arms anymore, you're also building legs.
