Part 4: Lengthen is to Strengthen Tendons, as we know, connect muscle to bone, functionally, they need to be able to become as hard as bone and as pliable as muscle. But tendons will become more like bone, if we don’t practice getting into those end range positions. Tendons will get shorter, stiffer, less pliable,…

Part 3: So much power comes from tendons. Tendons have the tensile strength ranging from 50 to 150 MPa, bones by comparison have a tensile strength of 150MPa1. The achilles tendon can bear load stress of 8 times the body weight while running2. Functionally, the tendons must be pliable and elastic to elongate and let…

Part 2: How to strengthen & lengthen your tendons. The tendons will only get as strong as needed by the muscles. i.e. the tendon’s standard of total force of the muscle’s total output. With regular workouts the tendons will only work as hard as the force put out by the muscles. Hence tendons will not…

The importance of joint and tendon health, maintenance and strengthening. Tendon health is an overlooked and under-focused health development for everyday strength maintenance and movement longevity. The focus is usually on gaining muscle mass and targeting the bigger muscle groups. Targeting joint and tendon health should be a focus for the complex functionality of biomechanics.…

Why I use sprinting as my baseline, everyday workout. There are many “scientific”, research-based reasons why sprinting is a great workout. I’ll give you my everyday, experiential reasons why I’ve been sprinting everyday for the past 2 years. Yes, everyday. With a few rare exceptions, my monthly “punchcard” is full and if I do miss,…
