Just to add to this. An experiment was performed by a group of scientists in Denmark. First the scientists tested the arm strenght of a group of subjects and, subsequently, divided the subjects into two groups: One group trained only their arms (arm group), and the other group trained their arms and their legs (armleg group). Both groups spent the same amount of time training their arms, however the armleg group performed additional leg exercises to increase the concentration of circulating anabolic hormones, that is testosterone and growth hormone.(The amount of anabolic hormones in the blood will increase more if a large amount of muscle is exercised). At the end of the experiment, the scientists found that the arm group increased their arm strenght by 9 percent, while the armleg group increased their arm strenght by 37 percent. This study clearly shows the importance of recruiting a large muscle mass during resistance exercise.
