I began doing Crossfit about a month ago to help recover from a leg fracture. Alarmed by the article, I did a bit of research to try to find out what kind of horrible workout gave the sailor rhabdo.
Here is the workout that led to the lawsuit that is mentioned in the article:
“Makimba”
Three rounds, one each of 15-10-5 reps, for time, of:
Dumbbell Thrusters with 10 lbs
Air Squats
Burpees

If that workout nearly killed a man, the circumstances are an aberration so far outside normal experience--like a freak accident--that it is nearly irrelevant to my training.
