I frequently do farm calls on wednesdays because it is off day from the gym and mentally it makes me think that I will not be as tired at the end of the day but it never seems to work that way. For nine years I did a mobile large animal practice and was out driving around all day and after a year or so it was no big deal, one day was pretty much the same as any other as far as being tired went. But now given that I am in the office all day, going out and doing large animal work, seems to take a much bigger toll on me regardless of when I do it.
All that to say that yesterday we were on the road to a ranch about 30 minutes north of Globe. It was Devri, Billie April and me and we had 25 bulls to semen test. Thank the Lord the weather was awesome and everything went pretty smooth. There ended up being only 24 bulls and then three head of horses to float teeth on and we were out of there by about 11:30.
Devri was the trich pouch taker carer!
Billie is the probe queen!
Me, well, I am the collector of the trich sample and the semen.
And the examiner of the semen!
This is honestly the first time I have had a crew that was that interested in what I was doing. They came around to this side for every single bull.
Not sure what they are looking at now but apparently they do everything together.
Billie loves her job!
Not sure what he thinks he is going to see but he did this a lot.
Giving a little education.
We finished up and headed down the mountain and stopped in Globe and ate mexican food, a lot of mexican food for me!! My nutrition guy keeps telling me to not forget to do my cheat meals and often times I dont really cheat that much but yesterday I cheated a bunch :) and am paying for it today with a 2# increase in weight from all the carbs and salt! But it was very tasty!!
There were a bunch of random things we had to do when we got back to the office and didnt end up getting the horses that had been dropped off castrated until after 5! But we got them done and then it was off to karate to watch Emma and then home to bed.
Up this morning at 4 and out the door by 5:15.
deads explosive
my legs are so sore from mondays workout that I was dreading deads today. I didnt stretch before and boy did I pay for it. I pulled my first warm up set and got the worst cramp in my hamstring on the left leg. It was like a knife had been shoved in it. So I went and stretched and then walked on the treadmill for 10 mins. It was still a bit tight but got better with each pull.
deads
*135# for 10
*185# for 8
*225# for 6
*250# for 6 sets of 2
I tried really hard to actually be explosive and work on some of the advice I have recently received on bettering my form on my deads.
pullups
*bw for 4, 2, 3
bent over rows
*95# for 3 sets of 10
glut/hams
*2 sets of 10
and that was that. I ran out of time and didnt get any ab work done.
It has been a pretty easy day so far. We amazingly enough didnt have a ton of surgeries which was good because we had a ton of walk ins and it was almost eleven and we had only made it through 2 surgeries. But we got through everything a bit before noon and I went and tanned and had lunch and am now ready for our very booked afternoon.
Life is good, I have no complaints.
