A Texas teen was reportedly diagnosed with a life-threatening illness after hitting the gym too hard.

Jared Shamburger, 17, said he first started feeling “super” sore last week after lifting weights for 90 minutes at a Houston-area gym, news station KTRK reported.

“Everything hurt,” Shamburger said. “It hurt to the touch. It was swollen.”

The teen, who recently joined the gym, said he was trying to “go hard fast” to compete with his dad and older brother, both of whom had been into bodybuilding for years.

“The mama bear in me kind of took over and I called the pediatrician and said, ‘I really think my son has rhabdo,'” mom Judy Shamburger said, referring to rhabdomyolysis.

Her suspicions turned out to be right. The teen was hospitalized for five days with the life-threatening condition.

ボディービルダーの父親と兄を持つ17歳の少年が、早く父と兄のようになりたいと、過度なウェイトトレーニングに励んだところ、筋肉痛が全く引かず、重篤な状態になったそうです。

母親は、"rhabdo"を疑った、とありますが、これは、

のことを指しており、日本語では「横紋筋融解症」と呼ばれる恐ろしい症状です。

rhabdo-の部分はギリシャ語由来で「棒」を意味しています。

“myolysis”は、筋肉を意味するmyo-で、-lysisは溶解を意味します。
