How does this routine look?

Try reading The Stand. 1100+ pages. Better than the movie.

Everyone should read it too. Hands down my favorite book.

Built, does that mean taking 5mg Melatonin pre workout is no good in terms of anabolism? In some other thread there's a pubmed study which concluded that taking melatonin does increase testosterone.

T-man, just because GH output increases doesn't necessarily translate to increased anabolism.

Put it this way - suppose you decided to lose weight by exercising more. Seems like a good idea, right, more calories out, fewer calories in... oh wait, I didn't mention that part. Suppose you don't monitor your intake and you end up eating 700 calories more food a day, but only burning off 200 calories more a day. Congratulations, you are now going to add a pound of fat a week for your trouble. Suddenly cardio ain't that optimal for fat loss. The problem here is that the intervention - the increased caloric expenditure due to cardio - didn't happen in a closed system. You didn't hold all other things constant.

We have the same problem with the GH increase here. It turns out there are a number of ways to increase GH output. Among them include "starving", "freezing" and "becoming dehydrated". You won't hear too many people suggesting any of those on a bulk: even though they increase GH output, the net effect is catabolism, not anabolism.

I'll add to this the fact that GH isn't particularly anabolic. Ronnie Coleman types don't get freaky big from GH. They gets freaky LEAN with it (along with a number of other substances) but size gain really isn't much of a characteristic of even supraphysiologic levels of GH, much less the transient endogenous spike from fluctuations in physiological state.

Sorry.
