Hernia: It all depends in where the hernia is and what part if the body you are working on. If you are stressing the area of the hernia when you lift then no. See your doctor about repair.

As tolerated: Activity with a hernia repair should be as tolerated by pain or discomfort. If the hernia is getting larger, and/or causing problems with pain and discomfort, you should consider getting a consultation from a general surgeon.
