Homegrown Muscle (HGM): Phase 1; Week 3, Workout 6
Weight = 204.6lbs

After the excesses of the weekend a chaste start to the day left me feeling hungry again after the workout. Carlisle was still here but hadn't touched the beer I'd left over from Sunday. I scoffed that plus too much other stuff but managed to stay off chocolate; biscuits however were the downfall. I ate those when I was bored. Enough said.

I find the prospect of the lifts worse than the actually performing. Chin-ups were good until the last set so is an area that requires work. I bunged a bit more on the bar for the dead-lifts but found the new weight on the bench press harder than previous. I do tend to the the exercises in the order that the kit is available which means I might be tiring out certain muscle groups early.

I continued to skip the hanging leg raises and used the abs machine instead. My lower abs are still sore from 5-a-side.
