got a hernia yesterday

[dank1970]

how can u avoid hernia's? i am assuming u get them by lifting very heavy. i have never had one and dont know anyone personally who has. when i do lat pull downs i feel a tight stretch in my abs where it feels like my gut is gonna exploid out. is that a sign of doing to much to where i could get a hernia?
sorry if these are stupid questions, just wanna know if u can somehow avoid them..

if u research it you can get all the answers you need. there are natural weakness pionts and they can tear. it could happen from a strain it could happen from doing nothing at all. they just happen to some people and some people never get one.always train hard when you are healthy if your going to get one you will and maybe you just never will.I wouldnt worry about it when you train though.
