Rhabdo Count
 

Might as well keep an official tally. Expect updates by the end of the week.

Lol

Rhabdo Count: 98

Rhabdo Count: 99

Undiagnosed?

Wow. A kid may lose his chance at a career in the military because of crossfit. And crossfit is still actively infecting the military's fitness protocols.

I don't really know how his unit works, but wouldn't it suck if he got to where ever he would be stationed, and learn they're a CF affiliate like down at Pendleton?

He wouldn't be the first to have ambitions shattered by gin: http://board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=61799 And that wasn't even a case of rhabdo.

But rhabdomyolysis is funny. Coach sez:

Very first WOD and he did it as rx'd. He's either an actual athlete, or stupid. Or both.

I just thought about how stupid this workout was though. 25 ghd sit ups + 5 push jerks x 5 rounds.

Best case scenario with the GHDs is fatiguing of the trunk. Worst case is the development of rhabdo.

couple the fatiguing and resulting inability to "stabilize the midline" with heavy overhead explosive movement?

What about the potential for spinal injury in addition to the shoulder injuries that can result? Wow.
