noticed the "Rhabdo" cartoon earlier. Im a nurse and have treated people with rhabdomyolysis on dialysis for weeks due to these muscle waste prodcts clogging the kidneys. this is a very real and life/ quality of life threatening illness and should be thought of that way instead of a sign of a really good workout.

Let me make things crystal clear. We DO NOT make light of rhabdomyolysis. In fact, the creation of Uncle Rhabdo clown is to help people be aware of the serious implications of strenuous exercise. In fact, we (Hyperfit USA and CrossFit) are very concerned about it. In fact, is was a subject of conversation between Greg Glassman and I and the interaction of various drugs and how they contribute to rhabdo.

Rhabo is NOT a sign of a good workout. It is a sign of serveral things going very wrong. That being said. Thank you for your comments. At least someone reads what I put on this blog. We revel in the free exchange of opinions and ideas. We WANT input and criticism. We publish what we do openly and in public.

However, next time you make a comment please do not post anonymously. It is bad form and harms the openness of this forum.
