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.

Just what we need, advice from a dipshit with two hernias...
This is why I quit posting here. Not much advise is given out, found better places.
Much to our benefit. Like I said, nobody needs advice from somebody so stupid.
For what it's worth, I highly recommend going to the Hernia Center in Kendall Florida. I had hernias repaired elsewhere, and they were terrible. Going there, I was active the day of my hernia, and able to push weights immediately.
A friend, a female professional bodybuilder took my advise and went there, and said it was the best advise she ever had. She was doing full weights within a week.
They engineer the results, using the forces that caused the hernia to hold it together. While the average rate of failures in the industry is 10%, theirs is less than 1%.
