I think it has some decent ideas, but a lot of it is stupid and some of the exercise selections are questionable at best. However, a kid actually almost died from doing CrossFit because he got rhabdo. I thought it was just something that happened rarely; I didn't think someone would actually develop rhabdo within two days of doing CrossFit and then almost die. Pretty scary stuff. Obviously every CrossFit box is different, but that was just one scary experience I had with one. Wait seriously? A kid from your school got rhabdo doing crossfit? Do you know what exactly he did? I don't understand how rhabdo happens. Could I get rhabdo or am I impervious? | ||

Could I get rhabdo or am I impervious? Yeah, it's kind of scary. I think farv probably knows about it better than I do, but the gist of the story seems to be pretty typical of CrossFit: coaches tell athletes to go way beyond the point where their form is broken down, they keep pushing, wake up the next day with brown piss and a near death experience. From what I heard, it sounded as if they were just doing bodyweight exercises for huge amounts of volume, and he probably just didn't have any work capacity built up to just jump into that. If his kidneys had failed, he would have died. It's pretty scary, especially considering I've never known anyone who has gotten something that serious from working out. He's okay no, but I don't think he'll be doing CrossFit again any time soon. | ||

It's incredibly difficult for rhabdo to happen from working out in anyone who actually has a history of working out. Even for an untrained individual like this kid, to get to that level of muscle damage, he must have been continuing to do the workout well past the point where he had vomited, probably more than once, and was very nearly passed out. A little bit of common sense goes a long way in preventing these things. You're more likely to get rhabdomyolysis from a traumatic injury like a car accident than you are from crossfit. | ||

Fortunately I was working out at home, so I had no-one to watch me as I continuously had to remove weight from my dumbbells as I looked on incredulously at what I couldn't lift. If my experience is anything to go by you should be able to add weight reasonably quickly (in terms of percentage at any rate...) | ||

Dips +35 lbs - 6, 6, 6, 13(failure) then biceps and triceps till my arms were dead. First time I've done a set of 10, let alone 3x10 pull ups in probably 4 years lol.
