Fai

[Tavis]

Hi not sure if I've come to the right place anyway I'm a 51 year old male I had fai on both hips in 2014 and had them both fixed I was told by the doctors not to do any high impact activities and no more running which I haven't because I was cycling alot at the moment I've started weight training again I used to powerlift in the army when I was younger. The only problem I'm having is I can't get much information on is it OK to squat and deadlift again I don't want to end up having to have a full hip operation but there's not alot of information out there about is it going to be bad for my hips or ok.
