A member asked:
Might it be possible that a person strain their abdomen muscles when lifting heavy weights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Lifting weights can definately strain or even tear your abdominal muscles as well as potential cause a tear of your groin ligaments to cause a hernia. Always progress slowly and use proper technique.
