Doctor told my friend no heavy weights

My friend was doing dumbbell bench press, and he dropped one of the dumbbells on his stomach and bruised it.

He started getting pain in this area and went and saw a doctor and the doctor made him have an ultrasound. The person doing the ultrasound said the intestines were right against, and pushing on the groin area. He said she cleared him of a hernia but recommended to not lift heavy weights ever again due to the risk of inguinal hernia.

Anyone ever had an inguinal hernia?

What do you think?

Tell your friend to invest in Tienchi Ginseng and stay away from lifting heavy for 4 weeks. He'll need to strengthen his abdominal region with some medium to high reps. I'd leave squats and dead lifts out for now and choose isolation work instead. This is only for 4 weeks until his inside is healed and strengthened. After 4 weeks, he can resume his normal program albeit, gradually.

Tienchi's info is here: Fusion Tienchi Ginseng 50 Tablets :: Stamina and Endurance :: Herbal Serenity - Natural Organic if he's interested.

If there are any fighters on the forum (as in MMA etc), they may also be interested in Tienchi Ginseng.

All the best to your friend LJ.


Fadi.
 
I would give it a rest for a while but then plenty of correctly performed squat/front squats/dead lifts and military press.

Also I find not dropping dumbells on oneself also help.
 
An inguinal hernia can quite literally kill you. So I would seek the advice of a medical specialist, rather than relying on that from unqualified lifters on a bodybuilding forum.
 
I am speaking to LJ, who asked, "what do you think?" He is obviously going to take what we say back to his friend.
