Weight training with torn meniscus

[Salted_Peanut]

Where would you go for advice on weight training with a torn meniscus? My physio advised continuing weightlifting to help with a meniscus tear, but PH has some experienced lifters who may have tips.

The NHS guidance focuses on sedentary people starting training, not people who already train seriously.

I've had 3 different injuries on the same knee within 18 months and finally been diagnosed with arthritis and the NHS physio I saw advised a combination of mobility exercises like yoga and muscle strengthening and NO impact exercise like jumping or running.
I was already doing the former anyway before the injuries but I've realised slow n steady is the way to go at my age (62). I do squats and deadlifts every 4 days now and stretching/yoga on alternate days with some light walking,upto about 3 miles at a time.
So far I'm recovering well

If you know your way around a gym then any basic strengthening exercise for quads/hamstrings should help. Light, high reps to start obvs. Leg extensions, seated leg press, ham curl and so on.
