Probably: You will have less bulging if keeping your hips straight rather than bent. Pushups will give you the least trouble and bench-pressing is better than free-weight lifting. In general, if your activity doesn't cause bulging, it is ok. You can still get a sudden bulge and strangulation of the hernia at any time, especially if the hernia is bulging at rest.

Yes: Nase your activity level on how the hernia feels. If it hurts, back off.
