    Re: Pushed really hard during workout...scared of rhabdo!

    [QUOTE=MyNameIsTerry;1905786]Think of it this way - it's rare, working out isn't. How many people work out to failure and don't get this? With weights working out to failure is standard if you want to add muscle so if this was common it would be much better known.
    So true. I've done workouts where I physically can't lift any more. It's not an unhealthy thing (within reason) and helps build muscle tolerance and strength as Terry said

    I had to google too!

    and in my googling I can answer your question... I read that 10 in 100,000 ever have it and I read this quote too ... “The pain was so excruciating that it contributed to nausea,” Weindruch recalls. “It was unbearable. The worst pain I’ve ever experienced.”

    So with your 'weak' legs the chances of you having it are zero.

    I think I read about this happening once, in some guy who did some kind of challenge run up a mountain in extreme heat. It's really super rare. I only know a little about it because it sometimes occurs in horses. You definitely don't get it by hitting the gym too hard.

    I got a good story about weak legs after a workout. When I was younger I took ballet lessons. One day in class, we worked on our leaps. It was so much fun! We jumped over and over. When I got home, I was explaining what we did in class. and I tried to demonstrate the leap we learned in the living room. I landed in a heap because my legs were so tired!

    Trust me u won’t have Rabdo, the people who are most at risk of this are people like CrossFitters - watch the CrossFit games - see the limits they push themselves to and how they look after and then see if you worked that hard lol your fine honestly ! It’s not common!

    I don't think its fair to call it 'shite' Quinn. One fear in the HA arena is no more logical or illogical than the next to be honest - all the HA fears seem bizarre to me to be honest from the brain eating amoeba to the Rab-whatever to the liver cancer. I get your point, you were saying it was SO unlikely, but they are all a symptom of the same catastrophic thought processes.

    Rhabdo sounds like some new model of car. Maybe we should pitch it to Subaru.
