Movementgems Elite is EXPLODING! Join over 13000 others and gain access to my app, programs, cash prizes, exercise tutorials, and the largest health & fitness community on Skool 🤝 Learn more in my Channel's Profile bio I hope by showing various tendon-dominant exercises that it makes sense that tendons can be trained and overloaded like muscles, ligaments, bone, and other connective tissue While tendons and muscles are different connective tissues, they are on the same continuum and made out of the same stuff. Tendons do get less blood flow than muscles, but in return are much stronger than muscles There is too much mystery surrounding tendons that I hope this post can help clear up - without the complicated language that’s usually included in tendon talk. I believe there is a place for that within a deeper understanding, but my goal on this account is to always bring these ideas to the general population. Everyone can win by having a basic understanding in this stuff Let me know if you have any questions below! #gym #fitness #health

This actually explains those horriffic muscle tear videos that are so popular. You always see the muscle tearing from the bone at the tendon site, it's never a bifurcating tear.

Tendons don't depend on end range as much to grow. You need slow & heavy eccentrics, or high intensity isometrics to produce collagen. Mid loads don't help them.

Exactly this! If I had a superpower, I would wish for indestructible tendons and ligaments instead of super strength. That's the whole premise of Strength vs Durability (ATK vs HP). The stronger the muscles, the harder they pull on the tendons. As an athlete, I prefer to train my tendons to be stronger than the force my muscles can produce so that it will be able to handle those forces without leading to an injury.

do you think working out tendons with light weights with full range is a good idea
@edwardgrenore126
Ай бұрын
@@Hsuwhsdh yes, when you start out then that's a good idea because it gradually introduces your tendons to new loads. Then after sometimes, you can begin to add more loads into your exercises which is a form of Progressive Overload. This will spike an adaptation for your tendons to grow stronger. But beware that tendons and ligaments take a much longer time to adapt to new loads compared to muscles so don't increase more than 10% of your max weight load every week!

100 % Legit! I've been doing a lot of heavy partials to increase my Vertical Jump and my Patellar tendon is pretty much always aggravated whenever I do my jumps. I started doing full range Rectus femoris stretches and Deep Squat Holds (90 degrees and lower) and my knees feel smooth and the tendon pain has diminished drastically. I make sure I do an Active Isometric Stretch (meaning I'm actively pushing into the stretch) for the rectus Femoris stretches for each leg for 30sec x 3 Sets holds. I do deep squats for 45secs x 4 Sets holds (Actively pushing into the ground).

Yes! Check out my shoulder videos by searching movementgems shoulders. Beef up your trap 3 raise, Powell raise, pullover, and external rotation. Hangs can help too. All must be started gently with super light or no weight, and pain free. I have more resources coming out walking people through these things!

any exercises to strengthen tricep elbow tendons? I’ve been struggling with tendinitis for the past few weeks
@MrEthan.
8 ай бұрын
Tricep exercises strengthen the tendons connecting your tricep. Remember, tendonitis is the inflammation of the tendon. If you have tendonitis, I don’t think training them will help a ton. Try giving them a little rest. But if you’re set on training, go lighter, and get a good warm up in to help lubricate the joints and everything.
@Movementgems

Floss band can also help when all else fails! It also may help strengthening the other side of this muscle, the brachioradialis, to alleviate potential overuse of that area that’s painful, to more evenly spread load around. An easy way to do this is with isometric, 90 degree, reverse curl holds. Lastly, consider strengthening your wrist as this will help build your forearm muscles in general - preventing an overuse of that tendon in the first place. Forearm strengthening is my first go to for clients with elbow tendinitis, and flossing is a last resort. All tools in the tool box. Check out my video “how to build wrist of steel” for ideas on how to build your forearms

I have had terible back pain for about 8 months now from deadlifting with poor form over time. After seeing many physios and a chiro with no improvements I left them and saw GP and got me to to a ct scan. Turns out i have a few issues: 2 small bulging discs, L4/5 grade 1 retrolisthesis and at L5/S1 bilateral L5 pars interarticularis defects with grade 1 isnthmic anterolisthesis of L5 on S1 with likely nerve pinching. Any tips with this speciific condition? I dont know if your a doctor but any tips on fixing this cause I also get inflammed right side etector spinae and left hip flexor which im guessing my body is doing to try conpensate for my pain. Any tips will be greaty appreciated !
