Hit 500 pounds of trim in a single shift last Tuesday

I've been cutting for about 4 years now and last week we were short handed. I ended up breaking down 500 pounds of primals between chuck and ribs in an 8 hour shift. That's about double my usual pace. I was dead tired but kind of proud of it too. Has anyone else hit a weird milestone like that on the block?

My buddy Rob hit a similar wall a few years back at a place in Omaha. He did 600 pounds of loins in one shift and couldn't feel his hands for two days after, lmao. Said the foreman just gave him a nod and a free beer at the end of it.

OH MAN, I FEEL that. I did a 12 hour shift on a beef line once and my thumbs literally locked up for a week straight, couldn't even grip my coffee mug.
