Renal failure just means you're warmed up
« on: January 29, 2011, 09:23:53 PM »
It's a week or so old now but has everyone seen this?

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6061650

Highlights:
* 13 University of Iowa football players ended up in the hospital with rhabdomyolysis following a series of off-season workouts.
* One player reported having to squat half his max (240 lbs) 100 times within a certain amount of time.

Moral: squats are bad for your kidneys.

A real Getbigger would have done curls with the IV bag after entering the hospital.

Why is Jarred from Subway writing about lifting?

One commentator in a news article made a very interesting point.  I guess a lot of young athletes are now taking statin drugs because of their idiot doctors.  It's a natural response to exercise i.e. heavy lifting for your cholesterol levels to go up.  So these doctors are prescribing statins.  A direct side effect of statins can be rhabdomyelosis.  Not sure if it's true but it is an interesting piece of info.  Chris Doyle is a fucking idiot anyway!  Why that dude is their S&C coach is mind boggling.
