Hey guys haven’t asked a question in a long time…
You gym guys out there… Ive Been hitting the gym nearly daily. was never flabby but trying to off set aging, feels good too.
When doing weighted crunches I really notice my100 ml reservoir is in there. I’ve gained like ten # muscle in last several months, you guys think im stressing out the reservore Or connections? Is this something you chaps have noticed?
Thanks bionic bros

What type of IPP? Titan?

As I understand it, the reservoirs don't fail often, it's usually the tubing and implant.

I am a national record holding competitive powerlifter. 500+ lb squats and deadlifts weekly during training in the norm.
I am also lean at sub 10% bodyfat. I have abs and definitely feel the reservoir.
I don't worry about hurting my implant in any while while lifting. I'm not reckless. I don't bang any weight near my groin.
Any typical weightlifting movement you do aside from maybe really deep lunges is going to put any particular strain to the actual implant.

You're fine. Lift away. The amount of muscle mass you have is linked in multiple studies to longevity and qualify of life for older guys.

How much time have you all been without lifting?

My Doc. pretty much cleared me for anything with the exception of hard impact.
(Tackle Football, MMA , Boxing.etc..)

I asked him about lifting and his two word response to me was... "lift away"
You should have no problem with light or heavy weights.

I never feel the reservoir. Lift hard all muscle groups. but only do cable crunches. I was very cautious with the core stuff the first couple of months, going light. Don’t squat anymore either (knees), just hack squat.

Would this mean that yoga is a risky activity with an implant? There are lunge-like stretches in yoga that really pull the muscles and tendons down there. Poses like these: https://www.mondaycampaigns.org/wp-cont ... r-pose.png . Would you advise against those poses/yoga too?

I lift weights and run on a weekly basis. I have tight abs and I do feel the reservoir if I pay attention to it but I easily ignore it. I also do nauli kriya regularly (yoga abdominal exercise, just check it out) which makes the reservoir pretty apparent and no problem at all

Thanks bros
So Im thinking, if most of you feel and are aware of reservoir too, Just wanted some confirmation that mine wasn’t being harmed as things get tighter in the ab region. My reservoir had to be re position ed from the first op. It was clearly sticking out on right side, thus my appreciation. Feel confident now to lift away.

I've been powerlifting and bodybuilding since I was a teenager so over 30 years.
The last 10 years has been almost all powerlifting but I do work on the show muscles for my wife.
I am actually stronger now than I have ever been.
