Anyone have any suggestions for exercises that can be done before surgery to make knee replacement as easy as possible to recover from.

My Ortho said to keep lifting as heavy as I wanted on squats and deads because at this point my knees were so jacked up I wasn’t going to damage them any further, so training is all dependent on pain tolerance. His point is you want to have as much muscle mass as possible pre surgery.

I had one 4 months ago and I regret it every morning when I wake up. My suggestion is to think really hard before having it. If I could suggest anything before surgery, make sure you have loose hamstrings. I can’t straighten or bend my leg all the way.
