Apologies if thus has already been discussed, I did a quick search but did not see anything.
I had a double hernia surgery around 15 years ago. Since then I have done some heavy lifts ni problem, though as anyone who has had hernia surgery will probably agree, you never get rid if the odd pain, tweak etc sometimes after lifting, others after cycling and sometimes just here and there, but I have read this is pretty usual. I was meshed by a surgeon who used to lift weights and he said you can do what you want exercise wise after a few weeks. I had an inguinal and incisional hernia, neither caused by lifting weights.
I have read a lot about kb swings, have even given them a go and liked them, but they definitely lead to some pain, so I stopped. My gut (no pun intended) tells me to stay clear, for me they are exactly what I should not be doing - thrusting my hips forward seems counter intuitive considering my past surgery. The problem with meshed hernias is, if you do manage to damage it, surgeons are very wary about trying to fix it as the body integrates with the meah and it is very difficult to do anything.
So I just wondered if anyone else has experience or thought about this?
