Doctor wants me too limit movement of my right arm for two weeks. This sucks for heavy lifting. Need help with exercise suggestions. I workout at home with my squat rack and weights.

All I can think of is body weight squats and dumbbell with left arm.

    I'm 4 weeks out from shoulder surgery so can't hold any weights for any exercises or do anything for upper body. Body weight circuits of lunges, squats, box jumps, and ab exercises are great--just keep moving and rest as little as possible. Leg press machine. Stair mill. Sprints if you can. Sucks, but two weeks isn't a lot of time in the grand scheme of things!
