Yes I workout alot and have just been implanted. I cant see why it would cause any strain on the pump as its hanging loose in the scrotum. Just like working out doesnt put any pressure on your testicles? I havnt done any heavy lifting since being implanted but im only a few weeks out and feel like I could.
I am not a doctor, but I do know a fair amount about anatomy.
The reservoir is placed in the abdomen between bladder and the pubic bone. When you contract during resistance training pressure builds up and could put pressure on the reservoir and the tissues healing around it. This could be a problem while you are healing but after you have healed completely there will not be a problem weight lifting.
The other and probably more dangerous complication is that the tubing from the reservoir passes though the inguinal canal. This is a common weak spot where hernias occur. Intestine or intestinal fat pushes through this canal. I would guess that beginning to work out too soon might leave you with a higher chance of getting an inguinal hernia.
Your best bet is to follow the doctor and his instructions.
