Getting fit during knee surgery recovery ❤️‍🩹

Hey folks, I’m about to have knee surgery soon and will be doing physio during recovery. With all this free time over the next 2-3 months, I’m planning to focus heavily on my upper body and get super fit, also for my mental health and work ethic. I’m a 22-year-old guy, 5’10, 185 lbs (a bit chunky but manageable), and I’m ready to push my limits.

Here's my plan for the next 2 months: • Day 1: Chest & Triceps • Day 2: Back & Biceps • Day 3: Shoulders & Abs • Day 4: Rest Day • Day 5: Chest & Triceps (Variations) • Day 6: Back & Biceps (Variations) • Day 7: Shoulders & Abs (Variations)

I want to work out 3 times a day, 6 days a week, using minimal gear like resistance bands, dumbbells, a pull-up bar, and an ab wheel. Need to keep my knee stress-free, so all exercises will be seated, standing upright, or core-focused.

Supplements I’m considering: • Protein Powder • Creatine Monohydrate • Multivitamin • Pre-Workout • Citrulline Malate • Omega-3 Fish Oil

Looking for: • Suggestions for workouts tailored to my setup (upper body only, no knee strain). • Advice on supplements for maximizing muscle growth and recovery. • Gear recommendations to improve my home setup.

I’m really trying to grind these next two months for both physical and mental benefits. Any tips or feedback would be greatly appreciated! What do you guys think? Any advice or hacks to make the most out of this time?

Uhm, have you considered spending this time alone? Just reading, writing, maybe breathing exercises, maybe mediation.. but mostly alone.. a slower life?

Personally, I feel you can build your upper body anytime in life & 2 months isn't that huge time either.. but getting bored, understanding emotions and reading more.. expanding the horizon of your knowledge.. trying to sit with yourself.. and writing about all these can do wonders ✨️

Yeah, I understand the 22yo ambition but what you need post surgery is a good recovery plan, not this social media inspired plan. Anything you mess now would hit you in long run. I don't have credentials to suggest but I would follow something like below:

  1. Follow a good Physiotherapist advice
  2. Focus on gentle movements that promote blood flow to surgery area
  3. Eat good lean protein and balanced meal
  4. Do some daily journal and mindfulness meditation
  5. Get some good multivitamins
  6. Spend time with family

Once you recover, go ahead and become Arnold Schwarzenegger.
