Never do one time max lifts.

couldn't agree with this more...that is a young man's ego boost (you are more prone to injuries doing max lifts).
depending on age and body condition, I would recommend full body metabolic conditioning. For the most part it utilizes compound strength exercises while working in cardio movements. You should be able to find something not too expensive and in group training. it is however, set up for 35+ age to tone up and lose weight. if you are "skinny" as your name indicates you could find one more robust to add a little size but not lose flexibility.
Max lifts/max gains. I guess it all depends on what you're trying to get out of your plan, but if overall strength is what you're looking for, one rep maxes are pretty necessary. They're also helpful for using percentages on ladder scale lifts as well and maximizing the amount of time that you spend in the gym. There is no magic age that max outs become more dangerous; just be mindful of form and have a trustworthy lifting partner.
Because you're going to get hurt and it's not an efficient use of your limited time in the gym.
I'm sure we probably haven't different goals with our gym time, and that's ok. To each his own. I'm older than 35, and max outs are still very important to what I do. I also enjoy competing against myself and seeing totals go up, It helps to keep me driven and motivated.
Yeah, I don’t necessarily agree with you take but to each their own. A one time max rep...you will have to explain how that works into your daily routine. I am more of a pragmatist and think more reps, and full range of motion routines (which also includes cardio) are more beneficial to daily life and requirements that you body will encounter. Just my .02.
One of the more popular strength training methods is something called the "3-2-1" program. The "1" is for a period of doing 1 rep maxes in your routine. It's certainly not wrong to do 1RMs and it's by no means a young person's game and not just for ego. You obviously have to use correct form, which is true for 8 rep sets, or whatever number you're doing, good form is always paramount. As Mako said, without knowing your 1RM, you can't most effectively do % lifts.
So you only get 6 reps per workout?
I honestly don't know the specifics of that program, I've never done it. I see some people getting good results with it though. If you Google "3 2 1 training" you'll get the deets.

You definitely do not need to lift. Even upper body lifts require core stabilization which could worsen the hernia. I would try low impact cardio like an elliptical or stationary bike to get your heart rate up. I'd even avoid things like swimming as you don't have a predefined range of motion and could potentially cause more injury. From what I understand the procedure to fix a sports hernia isn't bad and is a pretty quick recovery.
