e1RM:  207       
Right leg is hugely improved, but:  still enough pain that I'm focused way too much on it during the drive, and that's throwing everything off.  Decided to cut this short.

635 was up easy - probably not quite a 9.  Skipped any work sets, because I pulled Sunday, did trap bar Tue, and I'm starting to feel beat up.  Close to previous levels of strength - I think 700 is in my reach soon.

Cooled down with some yard work.  Fairly quick session

Week 6: Days 2 & 3

Scheduled training Thursday (Day 2) didn't happen:  too much pain.  Just did some percussive massage, light stretching, that sort of femboy stuff.  Friday was fine until I had to go up and down 3 flights of stairs at work, and that set off a chain reaction.  Friday evening was gone; Saturday (Day 3) I couldn't put on my own socks, so...no training.  Sunday was finally not too bad in terms of pain, so, it was on.

Not good.  Right lower leg displaying lots of pain whenever I try to get leg drive on the press - feel myself shifting to the left leg only by about 3rd rep.  Stopped that shit, and just strict pressed for the remained of the set.  But…going to cut this here, something about the dip-n-drive is not generating love in the left leg.

18" Deadlift        
e1RM:  644      
Not feeling too bad on warmups - I guess that's something.  Decided to go for a bit of an increase over the last big pull, which was I think 605.  625 came up pretty good.  515 - some sciatic pain left leg.

Tire Flips: 2x6x500lb
Wasn't feeling a lot of love; between fatigued hips, and working around the pain in the right leg, I scrubbed these way early - however, I did hit 23 flips in a row on Tuesday with the 500lb tire, which was a PR.  So, I'm ok with cutting this short today.

Subbed in for strict log press - keeping load off right leg.  In the rack.  Felt pretty heavy.

Finished up with some ab work.  Long session, probably too long for the amount of work that was done.
One positive:  I'm noticing quick recovery from heavy pulls - I attribute this to all the tire flipping I've been doing, along with the high rep log clean & press.  Conditioning has improved, despite the setbacks.
