Training with a hernia

[SaulGoodman]

Hello everyone,

My question is should I be training with a hernia? I have a small umbilical hernia, the doctor said because of the size and the fact it’s not causing me pain that surgery is not immediately necessary. So should I be continuing to train and hope it doesn’t get worse or opt for surgery? Thanks

Wear a belt in the normal position, and add a velcro belt above it, over the hernia, as discussed many times before.
