Rhabdomyolysis
“muscle death that puts you in hospital. not awesome.”
Reddit is full of people who got it from their first spin class or CrossFit session, with one 19-year-old hospitalised after pushing too hard without realising. Memorial Day saw over 230 people hospitalised from the Murph Challenge alone in a single weekend. One bloke hit 70,000 CK levels and needed kidney monitoring, another was tying down steel in 123-degree heat and ended up in renal failure. turns out 'awesome' and 'kidney failure' don't really go together.

what's working

    what's not

    • Rhabdomyolysis causes incredibly painful experiences that can result in kidney failure and hospitalization
    • Intense exercise programs and fitness challenges can hospitalize multiple participants with rhabdomyolysis in a single weekend
    • The condition can develop suddenly from exercise, even in people who are in good shape or trying a new workout for the first time
    • Recovery from rhabdomyolysis can have long-lasting effects, with some people still experiencing symptoms years after their initial episode
