Alright, I just had my patelar tendon reattached, and am out of commission for about 6 months. I am going to train upper body quite a bit, including grip strengthening. So, my question is, what are the best methods for this available (I'm sure the inevitable reply of chicken choking will come up, but I've maxed out on this a long time ago). Also, what were some exercises that folks did here while they recovered from a knee injury? I have been doing olympic lifts for a few years, but I'm going to have to alter that at least for a few more months, so any input is well appreciated. Thanks in advance, and this has been my worst year for injuries ever. I'm much more sympathetic towards people with sports injuries these days, that's for sure. I'm now official timer boy for our vale tudo team.
