To start you have to understand the science behind the statement. Is leg day the most anabolic of all training days and is skipping leg day a mortal sin? The answer is strongly supported. First of all, you need to know that resistance training is capable of increasing your testosterone during your workout. Second, if the training is intense the testosterone output is higher than if it is of a lower intensity.
