Weight training with *possible* inguinal hernia
Much appreciated, thanks! I do think an expert consultation is a wise next step, so I have an informed idea of what I can and cannot do and the if/when/how of repair.
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that I should avoid putting strain on my groin beyond that of a cough or sneeze (and therefore back squatting with 300lbs across my back is a bad idea)? In general, if I don’t feel strain/pressure on the area is it likely I’m not causing further damage (I realize you cannot give me a specific answer or medical advice without seeing me so this may not be an appropriate question to pose here/now)?
Thanks again.
