Heavy Lift?

Question

What the hell happens to your stomach if you lift something too heavy without a strap?
do the symptoms show right away?

Answer 1

with a heavy lift espesially something like deadlifts or squats u should always use a wieght belt. this keeps your insides together and keeps some of the stress off of them.
but the symptoms show early on

Answer 2

A number of things can happen,all of which are very undesirable.You could get a hernia that can actually appear in many places.This will cause you much pain and appear as a soft fleshy bump.It won't just cure itself.You'll need medical attention.I'm a power lifter and have never had this happen but I've been standing right there when it happens to others.It's quite nasty.There are a few other things that can happen but if you suspect you're injured you should see a doctor.

Answer 3

You should be very careful.
You need special lifting straps! Depends how bad it is ... for symptomes to show, but if you feel any change you should see a doctor to be sure. If you feel pain or so .. the worst thing is to lift weight at the moment ... for sure before making sure you're a 100% Ok.
You can damage yourself for good. Try taking things easy and use lifting straps. So you shouldn't get any permanent damage. You have to be very careful!

Answer 4

Lift with your legs not your back and it will take a toll on your body. Symptoms don't always show up right away. If you are worried see a Dr.

Answer 5

You could get a hernia or worse, slip a disc in your back.

Try not to lift heavy weights period.

A strap or belt will not help.
