13 cases of Rhabdo

[Mahir Barbaro]

13 University of Iowa football players were hospitalized after 'grueling' conditioning workouts. There's an investigation still going on but...I have a slight idea as to the style of workout they were doing. I'll keep updating as this plays out.

5 of them are out of the hospital, which is good news. But some of the comments on that article I posted are awesome too.

The comments are from outer space, mostly. :-)

There is a bit more detail about their workout in this article - which discusses a similar rhabdomyolisis problem in SC in 2007:

I saw a couple of articles that said they were doing 100 squats with 240 LB's and then running. Peter's article said they were then pulling a sled. I think I would have skipped the Rhabdo and just died to make it easier.
