CrossFit's dirty little secret?

Not quite. A number of friends have forwarded me the link to this article. It's undeniably sensationalist - it's not at all a secret if you can find a multitude of references on the Internet (CrossFit) - and even the article itself points to "Uncle Rhabdo". Nevertheless, my first thought is that (a) I am pretty sure I have nowhere near the willpower to get rhabdo and (b) it's still pretty darn rare. I like Instapundit's response the best: "Any exercise overdone or done badly is dangerous."

More from critics who apparently just have too much time. (NYT via Instapundit)
