hi all!

Even though I haven't been posting, I have been on to read the threads. But I have a serious question:

Today i had a mole removed from my upper left abdomen, and inch below the bottom of my pec. I have five stitches horizontally.

My question is: What excercises can I do without straining my abdomen too much? Can i still do sitting rows? arms? legs?

I know i can't do chest or shoulders, because it requires stretching the arms and thus pulling on the stitches, but I am curious what you guys and gals would recommend. I dont' want to miss a day at the gym or more importantly, loose any momentum and progress I've made.

Thank you all for your time and responses, and it is good to be typing again

It will partly depend on BF % & more specifically, how tight your skin is. Also, your build will factor in. One of the best ways for you to find out will be to experiment with very little or no weight. Everybody is a little different.

thanks Ross, tomorrow will be my first day back...i keep walking to my car in the morning, to go to the gym, and chickening out...just keep picturing the stitches ripping..ugh. Thanks for the reply, I will post how it goes

i agree with ross, see what hurts and what doesn't.


must have been a big mole

yeah, it was a larger mole i think im gonna do hack squat, leg press, and stairmaster, so as to avoid too much abdominal twisting. i want to be back full force so bad! I love lifting!

I think you should wait several weeks before working out
