No soup for you!

So I can't climb again until awhile after the knee surgery I'm getting soon. Any suggestions for good work outs so I can get back into bouldering without losing literally all of my strength? I've been doing lots of pull ups, but I'm sure there's a lot more I could be doing.

I had knee surgery a few years back (ligament). Doing work out for your upper body is good so you won't lose a lot of strength there, but you really want to take special care of that injured knee and build up strength there too, since it will be weak after the surgery. Putting preasure on it will be difficult for a while and that will probably cause problems when you boulder.

A quick google gave me this handout:

It includes a lot of the exercises I did after my surgery and should be quite helpfull.
