Lifting tips with bum knee?

Are you going to a physical therapist? If not, you should be. You should carefully follow the physical therapist's recommendations.

A torn tendon is a serious injury.

i would stop training (seriously) because you dont want to look like the guy that skipped leg day (which you did)

you will have an easier time gaining back a little lost muscle than making up the lack of progress in legs.

Edit: read this http://www.strengtheory.com/grow-like-a-new-lifter-again/

It's a small article about how taking time off vs constant training can yield the same results (like letting your knee recover...)

You're likely in physical therapy, but have you been in the pool for water based physical therapy? That is something you might want to look into, but only when your therapist says you're ready.

bpc 157 works wonders. i would work on stabilizing the knee and not care to much about anything else.

Stalling? More volume.

Regressing? More rest.

ride a fucking bike with a brace on like you are supposed to do

Tore my ACL and meniscus so I'm basically in the same boat as you. I personally just gave up on lifting until I made a full recovery. I'm a soccer player and I really just wanted to focus my legs again rather than doing upper body. For your knee I would recommend just doing what the therapists say to assure you make a full recovery. Don't push it too hard you just tore a fucking tendon. In the meantime you can still do upper body but I definitely wouldn't risk an injury again just because you wanted to lift.

bench press. chest flys, incline bench, tricep ext. shoulder press, upright rows. tricep ext pull ups, bicep curls. leg press. lounges, abs

You need.professional physio. What did they say about surgery though? Also be fucking careful a torn ligament or tendon is serious and makes you prone to even more damage.

Get professional physiotherapy and ask them to what degree can they rehabilitate it
