Rhabdomyolysis rears it ugly head every now and again. The most recent incident was at Iowa State with 13 of their football players.
While we don't get too many questions about rhabdo we do feel it's necessary to keep y'all informed. With that in mind the following links are from John Welbourn of CrossFit Football and Dr. Michael Ray of CrossFit Flagstaff.
John's post is kind of a response to the Iowa State situation while Mike's article is an overview and explanation of the condition as well as tips for prevention.

Good info. The Rhabdo incident actually happened at University of Iowa, not Iowa State.
ReplyDeleteHad a few incidents of rhabdo show up at our hospital in Balad - examples) 1 young soldier who over did it in the gym (1000 lunges? really???), and one guy over supplementing on the Hydroxycut.
