Weightlifting and hernia question.

Dear fellow bodybuilders,

Can you get a hernia from deadlifting or leg presses or heavy dumbell
dead lifting or dumbell squats?

I don't do barbell squats right now unless I turn the basement into a
powerlfiting room. I have a leg press on my Image 5.0 machine that are
pretty darn heavy,

I use a neoprene back warmer underneath a belt.

Thansk for and opinions.

You can get a hernia taking a [censored]. Lift right and be careful of max
attempts and you'll help yourself to avoid injury all around, not just
hernias. Are you particularly worried about a hernia for some reason?

Regards,

Ari

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
