Thank you for these videos. I am on my 9th month coming from an ACL/meniscus partial tear, and I feel actually being educated and informed on how the body works makes me motivated and appreciate taking care of myself more. I definitely feel stronger than I did before my injury.
Nice video! You touched briefly on a concept that I don't think is discussed enough in the Kneesovertoes world and that's the fact that the progression itself could be how much the knee is going over the toe rather than progressing only through external load. A slow shift from a more hip dominant to knee dominant squad is a great way to ease into Kneesovertoes training rather than hopping straight into end range training and having to regress to assisted bodyweight.
Yeah. I've listened to Keith Barr and he make following distinction: Slow HEAVY movement, even isometric, makes tendon resilient but as a result tendon looses it's stiff properties, so tendons doesn't transmit force as fast from muscle to bone as well. Snappy movements do the opposite and makes tendon far more prone to injuries while improving ability to run and jump. Another is for injury recovery and another for athletic performance. Not that any of this goes against what was said in the video, i just don't like the word strength being used here. But with that said there doesn't seem to be correct terminology to be used. Some don't like word stiffness either as it gives wrong connotations as well.
I've been doing tendon exercises the past two weeks and isometrics. This apparently isn't enough time to build tendons but I'm far more rigid and explosive. I finish up lifting with weighted stretches. All of these activities would reduce tightness in muscles and tendons and increase their total range of motion. Maybe "small range of motion" is what's inferred by tight muscles are better for "whatever". If you have a smaller range of motion for a specific activity it might be ideal and faster but dangerous. I just thought of this on the fly. Let me know what you think 🤔
@@aaqe92837 both , long isometric for tendon health/stifness , short heavy isometric , then slow eccentric. After that plyos For exemple , standing calves isometric for about 1 minutes for the long isometric Then standing calves isometric but with weight that you can hold only for like 15s Then heavy eccentric , low reps like only 4-5 , while controling the eccentric for about 4 sec At the end plyos , for exemple pogo jumps or depth jumps
My plan is to incorporate slow heavy strength exercises to increase the load on tendons paired with plyometric kind of exercises for more explosive power. Also adding very high rep low intensity exercises and Isometric holds to pump blood into the joints to promote recovery. I am hoping these ideas will help my tendons, ligaments and joints.
As an explosive athlete I want to do the same. I wonder what order I should do these in in a day. I’m thinking things like sprints or plyometrics and then the eccentrics/isometrics. Seems like the natural order to me, what did you do or think?
@@natemajor6560 I think that makes sense. I would do sprints or plyometrics first, the more explosive type exercise first, followed by strength work. I personally like doing some light isometric holds first though as part of a warm up too, makes my joints feel a little better.
You should always do isometric exercises first since one of the main benefits from them is building stronger, more resilient muscles(which works great as a warm-up). Second comes plyometrics and lastly strength training
Thank you very much! I recently finished Physical Therapy for Achilles Tendonitis and was looking to further strengthen my Achilles. Had I not seen your video, I would continue with just bodyweight work. I'm ready to add weight and hopefully will continue to get stronger.
dont know if its exactly what youre looking for but the squeezing rice in a bucket exercise helped me build a lot of finger and wrist strength, targets the smaller muscles
I just realized that complimenting my weightlifting workouts with pilates and yoga, I do all those explained movements to build strong tendons. I highly recommend pilates and yoga to any bodybuilder for stronger tendons, longer muscles, a powerful core, and stretching purposes.
I actually had good knees and decided i wanted to make them stronger, so i started reverse sledding on a pretty stubborn treadmill, stacked with atg split squats. I now have mild patellar tendonitis. You absolutely can build strong tendons without heavy load; this video confuses stiffness with strength. Start by walking backwards on a treadmill until you feel little to no pain in your knees and then start using more than bodyweight; absolutely finish the base steps first, dont make the same mistake I did of overworking my knees
@@hanjiplayer yeah this video is literally only beneficial for sprinting/jumping. That is the only scenario in which you want stiffness. low loads are great for strength and injury prevention. this only benefits explosiveness
Thank you for shedding light on such an important loading aproach. But i think, there is a progression: from light iso to heavy, then to regular exercises (that is speeded up over time) and then to plyos(from low level to intensive ones). And may be it's reasonable to remain some exercises from a previous level staying on the next one
I started doing this sort of thing for my rotator cuffs to bulletproof the shoulders. Slow eccentric reps are essential. You’re absolutely right about the load. There are studies as well about it stimulating collagen production in the tendon as well to promote healing and strength. As a pta they didn’t teach this specific info in school. I Got a lot of this info from the book “built from broken”.
Very interesting, as an ultra runner logging 75 trail miles a week at 46, I'm always concerned about potential ligament injuries. I do 2 leg workouts a week targeting glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves for durability but I will definitely incorporate spilt squats on slant board and heavier calve raises.
Great video. How many sets per workout and how many times a week would you recommend? Also will this work for the tendons in the upper body? Any light you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
A point: No one can build anything without having the wherewithal present. Please touch on the nutritional elements that will enable the body to construct stronger connective tissue after these load challenges.
Always been interested in seeing how I can strengthen the elbow flexor tendons. How do you balance a properly heavy load with enough range of motion? Some exercises like preacher curls can put a ton of stress on the tendons.
Quality work here, shared it with the homies Edit: question - how would you incorporate this into a typical hypertrophy based program, assuming there are tendons we’d like to focus on? Just add some of this work at the end?
I would add it at the start. For example 2-4 sets of short duration high load isometrics. Not very fatiguing since there’s no lengthening under load and could actually have a slight potentiation effect for your hypertrophy work. A little bit of volume goes a long way with these high load moves.
Heyya, thanks a bunch for all these videos. Super helpful and informative. Curious: Have you ever trained hypermobile athletes (I am one), and I'm 'wondering how you'd go about doing that. My current physical trainer has no experience with it
high loads longer but fewer reps actually makes a lot of sense.. because the focus would be on maintaining the position rather than moving through it. the longer you need to maintain a position the more your tendons would get involved as the main muscle group seeks support from muscle groups nearby and that involves the tendon more. i'm probably medically wrong but makes sense to me somehow
Thanks. Great content. Can u advise how often should we train this way? 2-3 times per week or shold we organize our training program based on feeling in training area?
Wish I had heard this sooner. I have a posterior tendon tear or rupture of right ankle/ right lateral calf. Can't afford surgery at the moment really. Bummer
Should we do this before or after the standard weightlifting hypertrophy/strength workout? Or should we do this in a different time of the day? Like weightlifting in the morning and tendon workout at night or something? How many times a week should we train the same tendon?
This must be why I've heard of people getting PRs by incorporating 3-second pauses at the bottom after a 4-5-second descent of a squat during a cycle. I've heard of Zack Telander talking about this before and he said the only thing he could think of was his tendons were being strengthened due to this.
Thanks for your info and analysis. I am in physical therapy to address what is typically called golfers elbow stemming from a weightlifting tendon injury and wonder if you think one should - for example - do heavy dumbbell farmer carry loads for 30 seconds to a minute while being careful to not exceed a 50 percent pain threshold? Any other thoughts are welcome and thanks for your videos!
Just watched a video of a Lithuanian strong man - they called him Sampson .. he was ridiculous strong like 165 lb guy carrying a horse - etc his story is amazing … escaped from prisoner of war , wW1 … I’d you can find the vid , watch it - that was his thing Tendon strength through isometrics
Can you do a video on a what a full rehab program would look like for athlete that needs to train throughout the rehab. Example still needing to squat while doing rehab.
What is moderate?what is heavy? Everything is relative to the person and to his tendon (that we can’t even see) I think that despite of the good intentions this guide can be really confusing and even can make someone an injury. I believe in progressive overload. With no pain for tendons. In rehab maximum of 1-3/10 pain is ok.
I need to make a shoulder video soon. There are some different considerations since stability is a large function of the rotator cuff musculature. Also they are smaller muscles and tendons so you have to be precise about how you deliver load or else larger superficial muscles will take over.
he's absolutely on point, I made my bicep tendon strong but one thing you should always have in your mind is recovery, don't train your tendons more than once a week
I am a recreational runner, but I do have some kind of ADHD, so I vary my distance running with sprinting and I do my drills, and running up stairs whenever I come along bridges with stairs, I am wondering if this is the way I keep out of reach for fisiotherapists, running a lot with a running club, I know a lot of recreational runners. My observation is that the "steady state runners" (people who prefer to stay in zone 2) have more achilles tendon problems than people who like to go fast every once in a while. My hypothesis is that doing a lot of running at the very same speed wears out the tendons while not giving sufficient growth stimulus.
anything abotu hip flexor tendonitis? Multiple hip surgeries and leg and I'm left with tough set in pains. Looking for answers? Thanks. The concept of additional loading for tendons beyond what would work for the muscles is new to me. Good Good,

Great videos. Do you have one concerning elbows, specifically golfers elbow derived from doing pull ups? I've only been working on them for a year but it's been a constant battle from tolerating pain to taking breaks to let my elbows heal up. Thanks.
Thank you Matt for this great vid. If I wanted to do plyometrics for Achilles rehab, would you recommend doing them before or after 5 x 5 heavy slow resistance session? Or is it best to do them on a separate day?
Early on in rehab I typically would do them on the same day and train 3x per week. Then later on once you can handle more than 3x per week if you want to you can progress to alternating between heavy days and plyo days
Hello fellow MD. Could you give some advice to a fellow md. point some ways for pectoral muscle tendon? Emergency medice doc here, calistenics guy, kinda injured my pec tendon lately while doing navy seals... Any tips will be highly appreciated.🙏
Can you get "sored" in your Tendon when exercising for it (clearly yes) but is it the same stimulus like when your train for muscle growth? To clarify: I started training for my patella tendon in my knee and got always like for the next max. 2 days after the workout a really shallow pressuring soreness in my knee which disappeared then after I recovered. I just started out with knee over toe exercises so Im careful and don't wanna rush through the progressions. Im just wandering if a little soreness in your tendon is a good sign that you stimulated the tendon for getting stronger, Or is it like tendons shouldn't hurt whatsoever and that when theyre hurt its a sign that I destabilized the tendon by pushing the gears to hard. Hope you understand my question. Thank you anyways for that informative video!
Would it be effective to do heavy bench with a bench slingshot for tendon strength building? I feel the heavy weight on my hands but I'm getting a spot up from the alimgshot
Thank you so much for this video. When I do any kind of squat movement, knees over toes... My knees pop. They don't hurt, but they do make a lot of noise when I go all the way butt to the floor. Is this bad, or should I be concerned? Is there a way to keep them from popping if it is not good for me?
I will be checking if you have any videos on wrist tendinitis. They seem to take forever to heal and I want to make them stronger not to repeat this issue.
Are old school lockouts considered tendon building? That is when you are in a power cage and lets say bench a very heavy barbell up to 2" and hold it. Also will this work with squats too? Thanks
