That’s called isometric and eccentric. Yes ur right. Now that I think about it. A lot of kung fu training are isometrics like holding in a crouch for 2 hours. In physical therapy u only hold for 45 seconds for 10 reps. So 2 hours tendon strength is crazy.

What you see here is the “horse stance,” or “ma-byu.” In traditional Shaolin training, you will hold this position anywhere from two to 10 years before you learn the first form, which is footwork only which teaches the basic stances. There are no strikes or kicks in the form. The form is strictly to teach you how to properly and accurately move between the stances while keeping your balance. The leg strength it takes just to be able to properly do the very first form in Shaolin training is not easy. It took me years just to get that form right and to move on to Chan-Chien 1. I’m 46 today and have the strength and flexibility I did when I was 26. Once you build tendon strength and flexibility you never really lose it

This is why in the army, you march while carrying stuff. In boxing, you jog while holding weights in each hand at a static level, while jogging with your feet pointed straight in the same direction as your eyes even though it's hard. They do it in the original rocky. In wing chun, you point your big toes inward in a triangle for kicking balance and impact, and it makes your punches, elbows, and blocks have more impact and speed, because of how it allows you to spin so fast into your strikes and blocks. The arm forms of wing chun do this, whether you use knives or bare fists. There's more to this than just tendons. The skeleton's form allows you to throw weight, either fast or hard in the first place. Without proper form, you can have huge, rock hard muscles but hit with very little impact. Proper form is what makes weightlifting possible. Tendon strength and muscle strength add to it. If you magically took the bones out of your arm, you wouldn't be able to lift anything at all. This is false. The tendons aren't what generates impact. 3 laws of physics. Look them up. You don't need huge muscles to be able to throw something fast and hard. Play some baseball, or hockey. Any sport, really. Don't just lift heavy weights. Get used to using that muscle to do other things, not just lift more weights in the exact same directions for the next 40 years. It's funny watching a bodybuilder learn how to run with his feet straight, or even try to point them in the same direction as his eyes while walking. I call them penguins. Or ducks. I make a quacking sound, as they walk by.
The fascia is also a highly overlooked component to strength as well. In fact the myofascial tracks and bony stations of the Deep Front Line strongly resembles the Chong Mai in TCM/acupuncture.

This video is huge, I have now dislocated my knee for the 3rd time and am now getting surgery for it. If you don’t train ligaments the the whole structure is either compromised or not at its full potential. Unfortunately I had to learn this the hard way, but that will change this time, stay strong and train safely.
This video really highlights the importance of tendon strength. I've often focused so much on muscle workouts that I overlooked my tendons. Thanks for the reminder.
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.
Tendons are also trained by training to the end point of range of motion finding the exact point to train according to the body’s level of comfort that day requires tuning in to your body carefully.
Alright but if you increse the strength of your muscles, the tendons usually follow (they take more time to catch up but they do catch up eventually). Strong people usually have strong tendons
True to a point. A really strong person will have much stronger tendons than an untrained person. But you can skew the training to focus more on tendons and less on muscles, though there is always some crossover. For instance, the wrist flexor tendons on climbers are huge compared to bodybuilders twice their size, though the bodybuilders obviously have much more muscle.
@moversodyssey I said strength, not muscle size. Climbers are very strong for their bodyweight and they use their grip a lot. Also jumpers have very strong tendons in ther legs yet it is because of explosive dynamic movements. I don't want to sound disrespectful, I think isometric exercises are amazing for many reason but to say they are better at building tendon strength has not been proven. :)
@@lazoslav Depends on what you mean by tendon strength. Tendon size and flexibility has been shown to be increased by isometrics, even over plyometric training. But plyometric training has been shown to increase the stiffness and explosiveness of the tendons but not the size. I find from experience that yielding isometrics are best for beginners, rehabbing tendon injuries and daily practices. Overcoming isometrics are best for tendon growth and positional strength, and plyometrics are best for explosiveness. Though now I'm studying the interplay between fascia and tendons in training and thats unveiling a whole new world of possibilities I'm excited to explore.
@moversodyssey Well both stiffness and thickness changes have mixed results in studies so I think it is a bit harder to be sure, but if you came to that conclusion from experience who knows... maybe you are right :) I do agree that isometrics are way more friendlier to use in rehab, I agree with that and find similar results with my clients. I wasn't advising anyone to use plyometrics for rehab haha, just mentioned them for a discussion. Anyways great videos, keep them coming, I'll keep watching :)
This is part of yuga and has to be included in text as complete study.. without including all these the all varieties of yoga or complete yoga is incomplete.. we missed all this ..
Just for you to know whenever you are training the muscles you are also training the tendons, however there are exercise that are more focused on tendons strength, generally speaking high volume of body weight exercises and prolonged stress on the body will increase your tendons strength 💪🏼
Powerlifter and strongman here. Training, in my sports, is all about adaptation. You work under load, accumulate fatigue, you recover, and you adapt. To do this right, you need good programming and great recovery, obviously, so you dont get fucked up and make progress. Adaptation in strength sports isn't just about your CNS adapting to stimuli. It's also about the strength of your tendons. Wanna know one of many reasons why PEDs are a REALLY bad idea for powerlifters who've been doing it for only a few years or less? You're gonna find your strength shooting up, and you're gonna feel great. But your tendons haven't adapted to the new stimuli you're under because you're inexperienced.
It certainly can. Though I would say most important is to make sure there are no biomechanical misalignments in the ankles, knees and hips, But tendon strength would be a close second after that. Adding in some bodyweight isometrics and some high rep bodyweight exercises mixed in with your normal strength training is usually enough to maintain the health of the tendons. Tendons largely have issues because muscle strength adaptations happen much faster than tendon adaptations. So people in the gym always pushing for higher weights or more intense workouts will often have the muscles outpace the tendons and then the tendons are stuck lifting more weight than they can reasonably handle. But adding in lighter high rep stuff will flood the tendons with blood and help them heal faster, and isometrics will directly increase collagen synthesis in the tendons and help them catch up to the muscles.
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.
He means training the specific intention of strengthening the tendons. Which much like strength vs hypertophy training are not mutually exclusive and one can be done without focusing on the other
Tendon strength was a term coined by Good Ol' Jim Ross to describe the "uncanny power" of a particular pro wrestler who was really pretty scrawny and needed the announcer to put him over. This video made me smile.
Isometric 90 degree pull up holds and 90 degree narrow push up holds can help. Also indian clubs are great at increasing blood flow and mobility in the elbow joint.
I am from India, and I trained in traditional mud wrestling since childhood, the idea is, not to wear and tear the muscle, and give controlled pressure, just enough for it to strengthen but not break. Hindu pushups, squats are an example, this is my view on it.
I used to do this because of a drawing, I stopped doing it and I saw the difference, but I can attest that it helps, and it's easy to start, I started for a few seconds and gradually increased, it's a pleasure to do, I didn't plan to train, it was just when I had extra energy, I did it, I felt good, and I got stronger. Try it, even if it's just for 10 seconds
I hear this comment a lot. Tendons and muscles are always trained together, but certain types of training will cause greater adaptations in one over the other. It's why climbers have such noticeably larger tendons than bodybuilders.
Definitely, there are a few good ways to train tendons, but yielding isometric contractions like horse stance are one of the easiest and healthiest ways to do it.
It depends on how far along the injury is. When I have tendonitis I usually take a few weeks off, then I come back and do light mobility work and some simple isometrics. I just stay mindful and try to make sure it's not regressing back into injury. If it is I take a few more days off and come back to it again after that.

When I switched from training just the muscles to training my connective tissue, my calisthenics strength and skills made a huge leap forward.

It certainly can. Though I would say most important is to make sure there are no biomechanical misalignments in the ankles, knees and hips, But tendon strength would be a close second after that.
Adding in some bodyweight isometrics and some high rep bodyweight exercises mixed in with your normal strength training is usually enough to maintain the health of the tendons. Tendons largely have issues because muscle strength adaptations happen much faster than tendon adaptations.
So people in the gym always pushing for higher weights or more intense workouts will often have the muscles outpace the tendons and then the tendons are stuck lifting more weight than they can reasonably handle. But adding in lighter high rep stuff will flood the tendons with blood and help them heal faster, and isometrics will directly increase collagen synthesis in the tendons and help them catch up to the muscles.

U just awakened me further
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.
Still his claims are trve
So educated people still exist I see
He means training the specific intention of strengthening the tendons. Which much like strength vs hypertophy training are not mutually exclusive and one can be done without focusing on the other
Uhm what do you think resistance training does for tendons and ligaments?
This is resistance training, just isometric resistance training which skews the gains more towards the tendons through the "tendon creep" mechanism.

BE PATIENT it takes weeks before tendons even start to improve but its worth it

Is dynamic tension what develops tendon strengths?
A few things are great at developing tendons. Isometrics, plyometrics and heavy eccentrics are all really great.

I love when people discipline their self in master of the arts up their minded, body and soul.💡😇💡💯✍🏻🙏🎁
Tendon strength was a term coined by Good Ol' Jim Ross to describe the "uncanny power" of a particular pro wrestler who was really pretty scrawny and needed the announcer to put him over. This video made me smile.
Jim Ross is still alive
Bahh Gawd he's broken in half!
Where is the blog?
got any data on some good exercises for tendons around the elbow?
Isometric 90 degree pull up holds and 90 degree narrow push up holds can help. Also indian clubs are great at increasing blood flow and mobility in the elbow joint.
I used to practice hung gar nei kung exercises for tendon coordination and strength ☺️

I am from India, and I trained in traditional mud wrestling since childhood, the idea is, not to wear and tear the muscle, and give controlled pressure, just enough for it to strengthen but not break. Hindu pushups, squats are an example, this is my view on it.
In climbing tendon training is very important to get into harder routes.

Thank you for your awesome content!☺️
This is such a cool video
How did they make it???
Yeah, you've got good longevity 👍🏾😊❤
This is why construction workers are lean and sinewy but insanely strong!
I used to do this because of a drawing, I stopped doing it and I saw the difference, but I can attest that it helps, and it's easy to start, I started for a few seconds and gradually increased, it's a pleasure to do, I didn't plan to train, it was just when I had extra energy, I did it, I felt good, and I got stronger.
Try it, even if it's just for 10 seconds
Must be why Tyson still feared
Yeh amazingly he didn't like weights.. did lots of pressups and sit-ups
And I'm sure the running/walking he did contributes tons too. Mike Tyson pushups are no joke either @@uberdonkey9721

I've got great news about what attaches to your muscles and also gets trained by the same force when you train them
I hear this comment a lot. Tendons and muscles are always trained together, but certain types of training will cause greater adaptations in one over the other. It's why climbers have such noticeably larger tendons than bodybuilders.
do you consider horse stance tendon training?
Definitely, there are a few good ways to train tendons, but yielding isometric contractions like horse stance are one of the easiest and healthiest ways to do it.
Whereis the blog?
How do I get to the blog from here?
Can I train my tendons if I'm injuriee from a tendon?
It depends on how far along the injury is. When I have tendonitis I usually take a few weeks off, then I come back and do light mobility work and some simple isometrics. I just stay mindful and try to make sure it's not regressing back into injury. If it is I take a few more days off and come back to it again after that.
Where is it listed lol
I tore my achilles and bicep tendon before. I NEEED THIS!
I am interested in to be able to draw like this

No one fight like that, thats how you get strong enough to be able to fight
What’s the blog? This is a short. There’s no video description. I don’t see any anywhere anything could be linked
