Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2022

I was referred to this book after my daughter got rhabdo. She is 18 and an athlete. I was searching for answers. While I still have questions this book helped me to understand better. I am going to give to her coaches to read also

MUST READ not only for those in the fitness industry, but also anyone who exercises (especially those who are "weekend warriors"), as well as parents of kids in sports. Subject is very well explained, not overly technical and practical advice offered through out. You can search the internet for all these cases, but Joe has done the work to compile all the latest info for you. Quick read, very informative and a great reference.

My son had Rhabdo. Fortunately he recovered completely, but many others have not been that lucky. I purchased the books to share with friends and loved ones that tend to push themselves too far. Everyone needs to learn more about this.

I have had 3 episodes of Rhabdo. It wasn't until after my second episode that the doctors in my area figured it out. When I had my third episode, I had to undergo daily IV sessions to flush my kidneys. I had frequent visits from curious medical personnel who had never seen it in person. I am glad, thanks to this kind of book, more people are being educated on this. I was lucky my kidneys did not shut down during the first two episodes when I didn't get the proper treatment because the doctors didn't know what it was.

Common Sense and Safety - Joe Cannon understands both

In a time when fitness enthusiast seem hell bent on testing the limitations of human performance, it is refreshing to have the type of information at hand that Joe Cannon provides. Hopefully those overdoing it in the gym take the time to read his information on "Rhabdo" and heed his advice for their own safety. As a retired gym owner and certified personal trainer for more than 20 years, I've seen too many instances of overzealousness in the gym that have resulted in injury and sickness. Thanks to this great book, many people are now aware how important it is to "throttle back" on the insane levels of sets and reps that some mistakenly assume will provide greater results. Great job Joe! Thanks again for another great work.

not an extreme exerciser..but interested,, there is so much misinformation about exercise that a short,accurate discussion of the methods etc is appreciated. this book describes a little known area of exercise info..and does so without a lot of hype..just straight factual information.there is enough info for one to evaluate their own risk and their own plan.,recommended as a valuable source for your exercise plan.

I am so glad someone on a rhabdo group on FB recommended this book. It was really helpful in allowing me to understand the condition and what to expect as I recover.
Thanks Joe Cannon for writing this book!

As a personal trainer, this is a must-read for plenty of others who are in the field. This is an EXTREMELY important disease to know about so that way you are aware that you should not push your new clients too hard, particularly if your clients are deconditioned individuals. I already knew about this from reading one of Joe Cannon's books already, but it never hurts to continually study this disease.

A very knowledgeable book about a condition with not much information to be found about it online or through physicians. This book taught me much more and I'm grateful for it!
