TIL I hit 500 whole hog breakdowns last month and my knife hand is finally calloused enough

Got curious and counted my records from the past three years, and I honestly didn't expect to see that number since I mostly do primals during the week, but now I'm wondering how many of you actually track your counts or just go by feel?

Actually going by feel is way more reliable than tracking exact numbers. All that counting just distracts you from actually feeling the breakdown, you know? I barely keep track and my hands are fine, plus if you're getting calloused that fast maybe you're gripping too tight or something lol.

Gawd damn, five hundred break downs? That is insane to me. I think I maybe hit like sixty in a good month but I go hard on the knife hand stuff during practice and my hand is still like a baby's butt compared to what you're describing. What kind of material are you even breaking, I gotta know because my setup is probably way too soft now that I think about it.
