Lifting weights after Inguinal Hernia surgery

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hello,

I had the surgery about 3 years ago. after recovery i am doing bodyweight exercises. last month i got interested into weightlifting and started to learn deadlifts with 40/50kg load. i will increase the weight gradually.
every doctor i visited before told me to keep away from weights.
did you coach anybody with the same surgery? what do you think about this topic?

What type of surgery did you have?

We routinely work with folks who are post-op from hernia repairs who can train without issues. Several of our fellow coaches have had similar issues themselves and continue to train.
