Fell down yesterday and probably tore my meniscus in left leg.

Nope

Hello guys.
I took the MRI and thankfully I did not sustain any damage to the meniscus.
I did sprain my ACL though.

Doc says bed rest for 1 week. No gym for 3 weeks and no leg days for 6 months

You got some great feedback from others. I did almost nothing. So glad you will be fine. Awesome news!

Training wise I'm planning on running a chest/back specialization program from RP, once I get back in the gym.

Brother,

That is "winning lotto" type news... I'm very happy for you!

It makes more sense—the way you stepped forward on the knee—it would affect the ACL. Just wondering why the McMurray was mis-diagnosed... but that's what the MRI is for. Money well spent, insured or OOP.

Take care of that ACL. Don't rush back in to train on it until it's fully healed. Then, ease back into it slow. You may get some quad atrophy (very little) from the injury, but your doc may have already prescribed a protocol to minimize that. I'll take short term atrophy over the alternative all day.

Let us know if you run into any snags, or if you just want to come back and brag how well its healed.

Sure will !
In the meantime, I'll try to control my eating while sitting on my ass all day on the couch.

Honestly I'm surprised about the McMurrey test too. I can't even flex my knee enough to sit on the water closet or pull up some pants
