Heavy Snatches!

Remember after Wod's that have high repetition counts or high intensity with movements that can become eccentric (negative or lengthening contractions), to hydrate well with water or electrolyte post workout drinks. 

Eccentric training at higher repetitions can, if not careful, illicit significant muscle trauma and put athletes at risk for Rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle tissue damage occurs causing the release of muscle cell contents or cell wall damage into the bloodstream. The kidneys then have to try to filter this material out of the blood and can suffer damage. Look for darker color urine "coke", and pain that is generally severe and unrelenting in the muscle areas trained. There may also be swelling and significant lack of mobility. If this symptoms become evident, contact your doctor. 

When training, remember to appropriately "dose" yourself and be aware of your own limits. The use of assistive motion or eccentric movements beyond what you could normally perform along with high intensity exercise, should be limited. Always train with the "brain" and then with appropriate "pain"!
