Anyway, just super frustrated. I'll try to see how deadlifts feel in a few days but I should probably just do the smart thing and severely drop the weights down and build it back up again over time. It's likely that area just needs extended time to heal and my continued insistence on lifting is not helping.

Yeah, deadlifts went as I expected given I've felt the same type of soreness in the right hip/glute/lower back area that I did a few months ago. I fought through/ignored the issue at lower weight, but with the heaviest set I basically got the bar under tension and my body said "no fucking way".

Sigh...it's time to take it easy on the squats and deadlifts until after Labor Day. Give the issue time to heal. I still want to do light weights just to maintain form and muscle memory but that's about it. There's just no other way and I need to get past this problem already as it's continued to be a hindrance for most of the year.

If I'm gonna go off my normal routine, I'll probably add a little more upper body work to compensate. Maybe do a bit more swimming as well. See if I can't get my weight down a few more pounds.
