if you had a hernia you'd know it from the pain

You would know if you had a hernia, and you're probably not getting one unless you're actually feeling pain. This is most likely normal.

Bro I fuckin tore my groin, something, idk. I suspect it's an inguinal hernia because when I squeeze my legs together there is a pain in my lower abs and groin that is so unimaginably painful it was worse than breaking a bone. For real dude, 10/10 pain scale for me. if you had a hernia it may not be painful but if something is sticking out (3rd testicle they call it) then yeah it is. Sometimes though it is so unbelievably painful but that suggests other groin damage too

I had multiple hernia scares in the past two years. Still nothing. Not really worried since I'm so consistent with how I train and know not to test myself way out of my limitations. Just take your time and progress slowly man.

Oh trust me my squat weight would get me laughed right of this board.
As a matter of fact I'll just tell you the most I squat is 140 ( not including the bar).
So that leads me to think I squeeze my abs to tight, or bad form. I thought I had good form but it could be bad.

Add me on kik man, I'll share my scare lol ripper606

Can't you just push the intestines back in?

If your bodyfat is low enough you'll fucking know you have a hernia because it will be right there making you gag.

If you're a fat guy you might not see it, so you'll have to go to a doctor and he'll poke you and prod you and make you cough and then you'll know.

If you *do* have one, sorry, bro. After you get it fixed be ready for some horrendous pain and weeks of not lifting anything heavier than a tissue to wipe your tears away.

this is not true

only if the hernia is strangulated will it cause pain. otherwise there may be tenderness in the area

>bilateral hernia fag here
You wont notice once you have a hernia. It will feel like a small soreness which comes and goes. The pain eventually gets worse after time, and turns into a sharp dull pain that persists. Go get checked out.

Can /fit/ suggest some squatting alternatives.

Front squats?
lounges?

anything?

Fix your hernia if it is a hernia, then buy a proper belt, and don't over do your squats. I personally kicked back on squats (my calves are pretty big atm) since my surgery. But idk just try different techniques.

Why do people get hernias?
