How long can I train while injured

[Apolel]

I injured my knees playing pickup basketball when I turn a certain way and felt my knee buckle. I went to the doctor and he said that it was just a strain and I should take some time off. My problem is I'm a weightlifter and I left at least three times a week. Should I try to train through this injury or do I need to take time away and how long can I go without weight training

You should take time off and rest before you train again at least until knee feel better
you can do some light upper body

 

[stevesmi]

if you workout right now you run the risk of tearing up the knee

 

[JasonPriest]

just workout your upper body for now

Only a problem if you let it be.

Take the time off. Ask your doc how long

You have to recover, no leg work, but upper body work is fine

Would recommend asking your doctor....he will guide you better....

I would take the recommend taking the time off and letting it heal before you injure it worse and have to take more time off

I would take time off. Let the body heal!

Listen to your body and take a few weeks off. I promise you will not lose all your muscle brother.
