If you aren’t in any pain, I think you’ll need more pt of strength training. We lose muscle strength as we age by not always using all our muscles. I’m going through this with my back. It’s a slow process and has to be consistent in doing it daily or we lose again. Also, our nutrition and getting enough protein daily is important for muscle strength. I’ve learned most do not get enough protein needed. I drink protein shakes for I know I am not getting enough in my diet.
Be glad you’re not in pain and go slowly with your training to not injure yourself. Get a qualified therapist. Let us know how it goes or what you decide. Good luck.

Great summary Stress, thanks.

I'm getting an anatomical TSR in August. I am not a golfer and have never played racquet sports. I do keep my upper body strong. (I'm 70 y/o, male, former marathoner, both knees replaced and right hip).

I'm wondering how long after TSR surgery I can get back to lifting weights the same way I did before surgery. I know the answer includes "slowly". I'm just wondering if there will be permanent limitations to what I can lift. If anyone has experience with this, please let me know, and thanks in advance.
