I know we're all trying to move a lot of weight, especially with one rep max DL and Squat. My question is, whats the best way to prevent hernias? I know a lot of nurses that get hernias from moving heavy people from gurney to gurney.

Anyone have experience with this? I scared myself a little bit, because I was lifting heavier and heavier, then realized I might be neglecting an exercise to make sure I don't get that problem. (I think I just overworked a lower abdominal muscle doing weighted leg lifts....and then got freaked out thinking it might be symptoms of a hernia.)

Thanks in advance!
