WTF?
More on that rhabdomyolysis, a condition in which parts of muscle fibers enter the bloodstream and filter through the kidneys—"Some players had dark, discolored urine in the hours and days immediately following an intense squat-lifting exercise." This is to say, definitively, pardon any oversimiplification, that over ten percent of percent of a Big Ten team pissed its muscles out and didn't report it immediately. In late January. :-X

you have to do CRAZY-DUMB-SHIT (crazy high volume, forced reps, psyche ups, etc) to achieve rhabdo, and eat like shit.
don't worry about it :F

It does but I'm totally not conditioned for that at all right now. I probably really would get Rhabo. 1 rep is normal. 3 reps is strength. 5 reps is high reps!
In b4 closing in on 1.5xBW clean now :)

That's it, I'm training with singles from now on.

The most challenging portion of the Jan. 20 exercise regimen was the completion of 100 back squats using heavy weights. The exercise is designed to enlarge muscles, because medical literature suggests it may increase testosterone and cortisol levels, the report said.
[...]
Coaches responded to player complaints with retorts such as "everyone is sore … buck it up … stop feeling sorry for yourself … you just need to get yourself together," the report said.
And cortisol levels? Are these guys crazy or something? Why would you want to increase the cortisol levels?

how arent these guys fired?
