Hernia?

[Nathan]

Thanks natedogg. If it's not too much trouble, could you describe the hernia you got and had operated?

a hernia can keep you out of the gym from 1 week to 5 weeks depending on how the hernia is repaired. I was out i think 2-3 weeks. I had an inguanal hernia and damn did it hurt after surgey. I walked around all hunched over not wanting to strectch my

Same for me the umbilcal hernia had me in the bed for most of the time for two weeks and walking hunched over for three weeks. But the ingunial hernia I was walking in three days. Both of them I waited 30 days to hit the gym for 1-2 light weeks then back to the norm.

But now after two hernias I stopped short intense workouts because to get a good short workout you have to lift extremely heavy for a few sets. My body just isn't designed to lift that heavy. Now my workouts last 10-15 longer and I went from 2on1off2on to straight 6on one off program. This allows me to do more sets and more reps hince less weight but still intense.

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty sure it's not a hernia now. I did heavy squats today and nothing in that area. If anything, the damn squats and leg presses would make it act up but it wasn't a problem. Phew. I'm still keeping my eye on it though.

Hewlett: I get that exact same problem. Only when I do squats though. If I wear a belt I can go very heavy without a problem. For squats, I find that if you push back your shoulders as you're coming up from the bottom position it takes the stress of the lower abs and I don't feel the pain at all. That pain worried me too a bit but I've talked to a few other people who get it. The area feels pretty warm too in a way after the pain hits. It's odd.

When i had my hernia they used a "mesh" to keep the intestine from coming back out. I can tell you though right before i went under (to have my operation) that laughin gas F@cked me up!

 

[Nathan]

Someone was telling me about how great that gas is today. I gotta get my hands on some of that shit. Just sit at home all the time talking to myself and giggling, "I fell great...I feel fucking great." I guess the trick is not to take too much so that you don't pass out.
