I have an umbilical hernia. I've had a hernia before while seeing the
same doctor, and his advise was good before. He told me to use lighter
weights, and more reps, so that is what I am going to do. He
defininetly told me to keep working out. I've researched it on the
internet, and it will gradually get larger. When it gets larger, I'll
have it fixed. I have a new rule for my lifting from now on, even after
I am completely healed. Weights no heavier than comfortable, and more
reps. Add more weight only when I can do 15 reps with the current
weight. I'll still progress, just at a slower rate. Since this is my
second hernia, this is the best option for me. This will also give me a
better arobic workout.
