Stange is the least of it. I have worked out my entire life. Black belt in karate.
Have been a weight lifter since all I had was a “Bedford stone” I used to do bench presses. Been retired for about 20 years.
Lifting weights and walking (knees too bad for running). I have a weight machine now that I used every day. Until I had this operation.

Like me, it seems that your core was destroyed. 5 swords piercing your muscles and belly will do that. I still can’t lift what I once could and have one or more incisional hernias. The procedure sucks no matter how they spin it as ‘less invasive’, more precise, etc. I consider myself officially ruined in so many ways - but I am alive and live to fight another day. And what Nietzche said about being stronger if something doesn’t kill you? Hasn’t really panned out for me….best of luck!
