Meso Powerlifting Corner

For grip work I think everyone should just do Ed Coans grip strength exercises. I purchased fat gripz and I've used them like 3 times my grip is way beyond my body's strength level because of a combination or blue collar work and Ed Coans workout (if you don't know the one I'm talking about I'll try and find the link)
 
Good / bad news my fellow lifters. I told y'all a little over a week ago I had been out of the gym having stomach problems (I thought). After a bunch of tests I found out I have 3 hernias in my abdomen (sheiko did me in). 2 small, one not so small.

I saw the surgeon today. He recommended surgery but told me to sleep on it. But I think Im going to give in and do it. So I should be back in it in no time.

Also, I hate to admit it. But I started going back to the gym last week after looking in the mirror and missing my mass. But Ive been doing traditional BB workouts since I cant lift heavy.

Anyone else had hernia surgery? How long was recovery? Im still hoping to be able to compete in September, though that maybe slipping away.

I'm convinced the DDoS attacker is now using the dark arts against the regular posters here. We've been cursed with injuries. I'm hurt again today myself. No other explanation. We need our own wizard.

Holy shit dude. I was just going to post about this. I'm pretty sure I have a hiatal hernia. All my stomach symptoms point towards one. I was going to ask how it would effect bulking, if I can't eat to fill capacity?? (That's what causes me pain... a full stomach) Will I still be able to eat enough if I don't get it surgically stitched up?

I couldnt eat right for weeks. It healed a little on its own so I can get food down. Just causes me a lot of pain and nausea
 
I've had a hernia right in the center of my abs for as long as I can remember. No idea what it's from, but it has never been a problem with lifting. Are you sure you need to have it fixed?

Thats the question. They hurt a lot more a few weeks ago. So I could just let it go and wait. Right now I cant do any squatting or DL though, at least until it heals more. So Im just looking for the quickest fix and one thatll last

I've read lord of the Rings a shit ton and Harry Potter once or twice, pretty sure that makes me over qualified....first things first we're going to need a goat, a box of kittens, 10 quarts of chicken blood and a gallon of test e. :)
