Bro i got the same thing about an inch above my belly button on a little to the left side. I got it from poor breathing habits while deadlifting.
Its the same as yours. Size of a pea. I've had it for about a year. I stopped dealifting heavy and I dont have any issues with it. When I get my BF% down I will get it fixed. I was still doing real heavy rack pulls instead of deads before I took 6mos off. Sometimes it gets a little sore but most of the time its fine. Basically I have a little tear but it obviously didnt rip the fascia or shot would be alot different.

you hit the nail on the head. it came up when i started upping my deadlifts. i will tone those down.

I've had one for quite some time and didn't know it until a doctor (a chiropracter) looked carefully when I arched my back enough and could see it. I think I got it from years of heavy abs training and it sometimes really hurts if I train my abs directly. But, my doctors (internal medicine and GI doc) say it's "small" and are not recommending surgery. I'm thinking of finding an appropriate surgeon who is willing to fix it because the pain, when it happens, doesn't feel "small" at all. It can be pretty serious when doing core exercises, especially abs.

I used to train abs directly and thoroughly with no problem at all, but the hernia pain gradually became evident.
