Hmmm. i actually though I had one. For the millionth time I work for a moving company (here comes the disclaimer) while I'm putting myself throught school. Now that along with heavy lifting takes a toll on your body for sure. Anyway, my fiance had her hand on my stomach one day and noticed a lump protruding. I thought for sure, with all the heavy lifting I do on a daily basis, that i had a hernia. It turned out to be a "fatty tumor". Anyway, they are supposed to be harmless. Sorry to hijack the thread, I just thought about it when I read your title.
Core exercises as entropy and urban both pointed out should go along way in keeping you hernia free. It is a good reason not to neglect training your abs, even though I know how tedious it can be. (especially when you leave them till last and decide like the pussy i am that i'm just to tired to work them now.) This thread will help with a little extra motivation.
A quick question. Would front squats be a good ab exercise to go along with quads, ofcourse. I was just wondering this because i do them frequently and have noticed a signifigantly stronger core and I want to attribute some of it to front squats, just because of the motion and the stability it takes to keep the bar in front of your body while maintaing an erect (dont be sick) position.
