Typically, your risk for bleeding decreases significantly after 10 days. That said I have my patients wait 2 full weeks until return to heavy physical activity.
In general, I asked patients not to lift weight from 3 to 6 weeks after they do eyelid surgery, especially if they have lower leg surgery done. Some weights can be done and you could use small barbell for the arms and back of the arms, but heavy bench, pressing, and lifting is not recommended for at least six weeks.

Yu can lifts weight after 7-10 days usually. You best ask your surgeon.
2 weeks you can resume all normal activity including lifting weights.
You can but at a low level of intensity until about two weeks after surgery for greater than 20 pounds lifting.
