@Chaddyboxer: you mean that glass is “fragile”, while muscles and tendons and steel and anything elastic isn’t? I’m so glad you can point out the inaccurate term.
By fragile I meant it just seems I break down easier than others, and that’s why I wanted to know what/how one should train in order to strengthen the tendons (if possible, more than with “normal” training).
I’m going to get an ISSA cert, I didn’t (yet) go to college for this. And even then, the curriculum might not cover this.
@mr. Popular: yeah, I’m a tard. I ask a question, am told that I should “just train” (no explanation, no “there’s nothing special you can do for the tendons”, no nothing). If I ask for clarification, I’m told that as a “PT” I should know that. If I point out that the answers are too general, I get a straw-man: “where did they say that” (not that one couldn’t make out ANYTHING out of “just train”). Ha ha.
Oh yeah, every PT in the world must be a combined Siff + Bompa + Verkoshansky +…, and even better, otherwise he’s just a fraud.
An answer such as Modok’s would’ve actually… answered the question.
btw, thank you Modok.
It doesn’t look like I’m the jerk around here. Or, the forum is only for 600+ lb DL-ers/Squatters and brown-nosers, who, when given an answer, will not ask for any clarification (even if they didn’t understand anything)
(also, KHALID, thank you ever so much. There’s one phrase in the book, p. 63, saying that heavy core lifts (DL/BP/Squat etc.) will strengthen tendons. That was truly illuminating.)[/quote]
YOUR welcome.
