I Am a Female Powerlifter and Train with Heavy Weight. How Will Implants Affect Upper Body Strength?

March 29, 2013
Asked By:lgay33

I am considering breast implants, but want to know how my training will be affected. I bench press (free weights) regularly with 100+lbs. Will the implants cause me to lose strength indefinitely? I prefer going under the muscle with silicone. I also do not want to damage the implants. Any input would be helpful.
