A theoretical question. Hopefully not too silly for the forum.

If you were limited (for any reason) to choosing ONLY 2 exercises going forward.
What would you choose and why?

Do you mean specific exercises or forms of exercise?
Like could I still play sports, run, etc?

Awwww c'mon man...

Okay - for strength or muscularity only.

You can carry on playing badminton but NO olympic lifting. Mmkay?
 
If Olympic lifts are off the table, I'd do hex bar deficit DL and barbell push presses, to build and retain as much muscle mass as possible. That and I'd continue training BJJ/wrestling/Judo.

If Oly lifts are allowed and count as 1 exercise, I'd go C&J + barbell back squats.

Zercher Rear Lunges and 1 Arm Jerk

Holding the bar in the zercher position will help develop the upper back muscles and I like lunges more than squats these days.
Single arm jerk covers power for both the upper and lower body.
Both exercises have a major stabilisation element for the entire body.

Plus they are two of my favourite exercises to do.

Motorcycle accident. I fought back to good shape and then there has been a slow decline. The biggest issue beyond pain is stupid but is symmetry. My right wrist is locked with about 5% range of motion. My left shoulder is about 60%.

My right leg is trashed, the calf is noticeably smaller. My right ankle is locked and right knee is around 50%.

My foot stopped me from doing push ups(on knuckles} and planks. And I lost my drive for crunches. I'm 6' but I used to be 6'2" And I'm currently 200lbs. I do 30 hammer grip pull-ups on my walk at the park using the monkey bars. It keeps some definition on my arms.

That you still keep going is a milestone within itself.
Keep striving, Shermano.
Thanks for sharing the struggle.
 
Football Bar Bench Press.

Trap Bar Deadlifts.

Between them, they hit every major muscle group.
