    Developing tendon strength is just as important as muscle strength, consider putting more tendon focus into your training.

    I frequented a climbing gym for a few years. Not long but long enough to understand the importance of strong tendons. Now, I am of opinion that many sport injuries occur because a muscle overpowers its tendon.

      Esp. in dragon flag, I find that I _could_ use a bigger effort, but I know I'll get an injury. Stick with the progressions and wait for joints/tendons to strengthen before moving on

      The footballer R9 had a famous knee injury which was caused as a result of I think his hyperthyroidism caused his muscles and fat to be too great in comparison to his tendons so his knees couldn't support his weight when he was exerting himself and his knee just popped out

      It is not possibile for muscles to overpower tendons unless you are taking the magical juice, so no, tendon injuries don't happen because of that

At 36 i feel better than i did at 26. Im stronger and i have no body pain or health issues at all. Theyve been doing it for thousands of years for a reason.

    That's why I always prioritize tendons elasticity, resilience, and recovery since I train for jumping. Jump training put more strains on tendons than muscles, also, muscles are less likely to tear in an explosive movement since they don't responds in an elastic way that muscles do.

    Ironically, I can't do Horse Stance BECAUSE of knee pain and I'm semi-certain a bad horse stance is what gave me knee pain to begin with.

    • @moversodyssey
      @moversodyssey  Месяц назад +1

      One of the problems I've seen with horse stance in the past is the angle of the shin. It's common to have tibial rotation issues already that your unaware of which puts a lot of unnecessary torque on the knee and can lead to injury. In fact, almost everyone I've ever seen in clinic who has had an ACL tear had external tibial rotation. In horse stance, some people will point the shins really far to the outside (external tibial rotation), while the thigh can't properly do the same thing because the adductor muscles are too tight. This can really mess up a knee unfortunately. I'm not sure if this is what happened to you or not but either way it might be worth doing some "banded tibial rotation" rehab exercises. I've seen this resolve a lot of knee pain issues all by itself. Best of luck

    I see a lot of iffy claims in this video.
    Most strength training does not "focus exclusively on muscle strength", the tendons are strengthened alongside the muscles, generally gaining strength about half as fast as muscles. They also lose strength half as fast, but do not permanently "stick with you after muscle strength is gone."
    "Tendons provide us the ability to be explosive". Actually fast-twitch muscle fibers provide us with that. Good tendon strength will certainly help you not get hurt by the movements though.
    Overall, tendons amount to your ability to handle muscle strain without getting injured. They're not a cleanly separate thing from muscle strength training.

      Bar hangs, 90 degree push up hold and reverse lunge are all great upperbody iso's. After you get good at those there are a lot of directions to branch off.

    is this what dad strength refers to?

      @moversodyssey  2 месяца назад +4

      More or less. Muscles can grow stronger in a relatively short period of time, but joint strength takes years. So older men who have stayed fairly active often have stronger joints as well as more muscle control from years of experience with the body.

    Are there any actual scientific publications supporting these wild claims?

      Not sure what claims your perceiving as wild honestly, but yea, there is a lot of science on tendon training. And a lot of passed down knowledge from long training traditions in the martial arts. Google tendon training in scientific journals, the list of studies is long and good reading.

      ​@@moversodyssey I think you have fundamental misunderstanding of the terminology you use. The tendon is part of the muscle. Unlike the muscle, the tendon has no contractile fibers. It's function is to transfer forces from the muscle to the attached bone. So tendon strength describes how well a tendon can transfer forces. Muscle strength however means how much force can the muscle produce against external resistance. If there is no force to transfer, the tendon strength is irrelevant.
      For this reason tendon strength is associated with longevity and other health promoting effects because it means you participated in physical activity! Not because someone did 'tendon training'

      @@jokecukie Consciously directed physical activity is training. I work with athletes all day and some types of athletes have much thicker tendons then they do muscles. For instance the flexor tendons of the wrist are noticeably larger in a climber than they are in a body builder who is overall a larger person.
      Should you decide to climb as opposed to weight lift for the purpose of making tendons thicker and stronger, you are engaging in tendon training.
      And when I speak of tendon strength I am mostly speaking of the build up of the collegian fibers which its composed of in order to increase it's ability to transfer force. At no point was there a claim made that tendons contract like muscles. The only contraction a tendon does is not from conscious activation but from elastic recoil as it transfers forces.
      This elastic recoil can also be elicited to increase the size and capacity of a tendon through plyometric training. This is a form of "tendon strength training" because it strengthen tendons and you can do it purposely for this effect. It also doesn't rely on the muscle to produce force as the force can be produced by gravity, as in box jumps.
      And the collagen fibers of the tendons continue into the belly of the muscle, emerging into the tendon on the other side. I've seen them in dissections and we often called them intramuscular fascia or deep fascia. Some cadavers had much more of this than others due to the types of activities and training they had been engaged in. And these fibers are capable of elastically transferring force across the span of the muscle while theoretically not engaging the muscle at all. Now in reality the muscle almost always isometrically engages to allow elastic force transfer across it. But my point is it's not hard to skew training towards developing stronger tendons while focusing less on the development of muscle and vice versa. I've seen it in athletes hundreds of times and I've seen it in cadavers.
      And targeting tendons through training such as plyometrics, when done intelligently, are great for longevity because they increase the joints capacity to absorb force without injury. Training specifically to learn to use the tendons through controlling momentum and guiding it into elastic recoil, as is taught in many martial arts, is good for longevity because it increases the efficiency of movement and decreases the energy needed for movement. Tendon strength also tends to stick around much longer than muscle strength, this is obvious in older cadavers who have thick tendons like that of an athlete but shriveled and atrophied muscles. So these people won't consciously generate force as easily but they can still intelligently use gravity, momentum and elastic recoil to assist movement.
      There is nothing wild about these ideas, they are facts. I've seen people increase the size, strength and capacity of their tendons without an accompanied increase in muscle size so many times, nothing could convince me it doesn't happen. And no one could make me believe it can't be targeted intelligently through specific training protocols.

      It seemed like a semantic disagreement, which I'm used to dealing with because I go back and forth from a professional setting with over complicated and precise jargon to youtube where I speak in a less complicated way to a more general audience who isn't trying to specialize in anatomical studies. If I talked on youtube like I do in my career people would think I'm an inaccessible and pompous jerk. Lol. But I enjoy the chance to talk about it more fully when I run into people who take anatomical studies deeper.
