Hernia repair and two years later lifting...
Two years ago I established I had an inguinal hernia on a 465 deadlift. It wasn't a bad hernia but I got a mesh repair anyway. I went through the normal obstinance to lifting as prescribed by the doctor. I worked my way back to normal over a course of a year and approached the bar for 455 pull during one session. After a single I put the bar down and felt the same pain I had when I had the hernia before, a tug on my hip bone. Since then everytime I have approached the 450 mark I feel my old hernia. Am I capped for the rest of my life unable to go above 465? I though a mesh repair was more robust than the abdominal wall it repaired. I am in my 40s and I was hoping to have pulled 500 lb by now. I am 6'1", 270 lbs.
