Tendon Training - Tendons Like Steel Cables!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The full blog post on tendon training with more details and all studies linked: www.thebioneer.com/tendon-trai...
This video describes training methods you can use to strengthen your tendons. The result? Fewer injuries, greater maximal strength and explosive power.
When lifting weights you don't just train the muscles: you also train the bones, the brain, and - of course - the tendons. Training tendons helps to increase your ability to use your muscle power, as well as giving you more explosive elasticity. In fact, it may make sense to stop thinking in terms of muscle and to instead think about 'muscle tendon units' (MTUs). Did you know that a lot of your speed when sprinting comes from your Achilles tendon?
Tendon training first means building up strength and preventing injury so you're ready to start using big weights. Do this by tranining with volume and frequency. Eccentrics can also help.
After around 2 months, you will see structural change in the connective tissue. Now you're ready to start lifting heavier weights - using techniques like heavy partials to move more weight than you could otherwise, as well as explosive plyometrics and strategic stretching.

    The strongest people I know, except powerlifters and strongmen, are folks who work physical jobs that involve lots of woodchopping or sledgehammer smashing... That impact you make on hard surfaces, more precisely force that is transferred through your bones and tendons makes them incredibly hard over time. those people are strong even in old age. Also lots of volume and frequency at moderate intensity ( 2k likes edit: I never read this from a reputable source or anything like that, I can't give your proof. I grew up on a farm and later spent time around blue-collar workers, anyone will confirm this, it's a common observation. There's a type of effortless strength and resilience that you develop through years of physical labor, that gym rats just can't match. Today's gyms are too sterile. Lifting odd objects, breaking stuff, pulling, carrying... the body adapts by becoming sturdy and rugged. I guess the lesson is: do a little bit of everything in your training, keep active and stay safe. )

    As a climber I can confirm that tendon strength is one of the most important factors for hard climbing. After building the base (as you said) for some time, moving to weighted hangs on relatively small edges (15-20mm) creates fast improvements with minimal volume. Max hangs 80%-90% effort) for as little as 6 reps, 10 secs each twice per week can substantially improve the ability of your finger tendons to take weight. I don’t know if other tendons respond this way, but fingers can adapt reasonably quickly to weight IF that base is first built up over time. Edit: I don’t recommend weighted hanging for new climbers or non climbers

    I can see why this video was so highly requested. There are so many youtubers out there telling to you "push yourself" and "lift heavy" for "bigger gains" all the time. Of course, those youtubers are all in perfect shape and it took them years of training to get there, and rightfully so. But, the problem is that they present themselves and their "workout programs" to the viewers as something "fast" and achievable like a click bait saying "How I got shredded for summer FAST in 4 weeks." So the innocent viewers will gather up the courage to hit the gym and go heavy without fully knowing about proper stretches, warm ups, blood flow techniques etc. At least that's how i injured my shoulder AC joint... Going full range of motion on dumbell flys when I had never even practiced doing cable cross before

    When I was constantly lifting I'd do anywhere from 6-20 reps and 3-6 sets or so. Only because I was so conditioned from years of lifting though. That will not work for a majority of people. To build strength I'd say 4-10 rep range just focusing on contracting the muscle properly for higher reps, and trying to push as hard as possible for heavier weights.

    I highly recommend reading "The Oxygen Advantage". It's a book about breathing, specifically about how for most people, their CO2 tolerance is too low. This causes over breathing, because paradoxically enough, hemoglobin needs CO2 in order to release O2. If your CO2 levels in your blood are too high, you can pass out and die. If they are too low, your respiratory system will be too inefficient. The difference between the two extremes is very large, so it is good to train CO2 tolerance. Your blood CO2 levels are regulated by your brain stem. If it's too sensitive to CO2, then you will feel like you are out of breath too easily. Practicing slow breathing and breath holding can improve tolerance to this gas and actually improve respiratory function. This is how hyperventilating "works". If you breathe too much for your current activity level, say because of stress, you can remove so much CO2 from your blood that your tissues start to become starved of oxygen. This triggers faster breathing, but this only exacerbates the low CO2 issue. Your blood is 99% or more saturated with O2 already, but without CO2, it's all useless. This is why the cure is to breath into a bag. It brings CO2 levels back up and ends the cycle. The book also goes into the importance of only breathing through your nose, both in and out. Your sinuses produce NO2, which acts as a vasodialator in the lungs. When breathing out, they capture moisture from your breath and help keep you hydrated. Also, mouth breathing can cause asthma and dental problems.

    Totally agree, when i started lifting i always got tendinitis in my forearms i would stop lifting to recover and after the first session i would have issues again, i started training differently to get my tendons stronger(mostly armwrestling and sledgehammer training) since then i never had pain in my wrist while benching or curling or any other activity

I made decent progress for like a month then pushups and sit-ups were no longer providing me the stimulus I needed. In short, you can start with calisthenics (if you are relative light, I wasn't that's but it gave me more stimulus) then move to weights in the gym.

    Hvalien I personally find water to be decompressing and helpful in recovery from gravity. It's also a form of ISO kinetic resistance training that I've used in my own training. Weather or not training explosively under water was a factor at the time or just coincidence, I will say that at my fasted, most reactive and explosive as well as peak of relative strength that I was utilizing water as a form of resistance training but not swimming. What I would do is explosive movement under water to replicate athletic and bodybuilding movements without weights. Water is unique in the way that the faster you attempt to move the more you feel it's resistance and it forces you to feel your whole body in a unique way that in the very least improves your sense of muscle and joints and how everything is connected. It also activates stabilizing muscles in different way than gravity. It's a must try form of training that I think every one should experience for a period of time in their training

I always admired these kinds of exercises because they cover both strength and stamina training like running, rope jumping and weights lifting and really make you fit and healthy (I'd like especially to build strong heart and lungs so as I get older I have much less chances of related illnesses). Plus you can keep doing them for the rest of your life (granted, with age you need to adjust) and always feel and look good. But I know little to nothing about exercise and the right diet for the training regime and I'd like to know what I should do and how. Great content, definitely gonna check other videos! 👍

There are these campus boards for. It's a bit weird training regime for a beginner on these boards, because you start with very short times hanging on, to prevent injury. And you really have to avoid injuries on these tiny ligaments and tendons, because they took ages to heal. Always take your time, have patience and good recovery brakes! cheers and congrats Bioneer, great videos and great work man! :)

    I think I have an Idea for you: Training with Implements that Challenge Grip will allow you to train Grip alongside normal strength. To Do this with Calisthenics you can change you hand position (for example: remove a finger off the ground or hold onto stones that are balancing - which also adds an element of Instability like gymnastic rings) Using Extreme ROM (for example: dumbbell Flyes where the hands go as far down as possible) combined with holds in the stretched position Builds Flexibility and implements Weighted Stretching. Perform Your Flexibility Training either earlier in the day or as the Cool-down phase of your workout. To Build Endurance you Need A high Volume of Training to build those adaptations, so a high overall volume of work performed each workout will benefit you in this regard. (You could also Alternate your days between Strength-Based and Endurance-Based Training) To Build Max Strength you Need to Train With Your Maximum Weight. If you do this after your warm Up Sets (whilst you are still fresh, done as Sets of singles), you can still train max Strength and then downgrade the weight for the other attributes you are training for. Finally to Build Explosiveness, you can implement Plyometric Exercises to finish off your workout, also lighter weights at higher speed can also be used to develop Explosiveness. This can be implemented after the heavy training or done on a seperately day in order to make sure they don't interfere with each other.

    @@dylanclixby6851 that sounds like a bit too much for me. I actually want to live and do real things instead of just training all the time. I am now doing something that covers a lot of things, without needing a ton of time. It's based on Pavel Tsatsoulines return of the kettlebell book. Great read. I train in 2 week blocks. 2 weeks of powerbuilding strength training (3-4x/week, relatively short sweet workouts of about 40min-1h. Full body, but each day a different focus. Day one: pushing heavy, legs light, pulling medium Day two: pushing light, legs heavy, pulling medium Day three: pushing medium, legs medium, pulling heavy (for example) (This is an adaptation of Pavel Faleev's program, the heavy days are the same as his, the light too, the medium is more of a variation day, with pushups or single leg work for higher volume. Nothing to absolutely kill you, but enough to be a workout) Then I do 2 weeks of explosive and HIIT workouts. I do double kettlebell clean and jerks for ladders of 3x2,4,6 working up to 5x2,4,6,8,10 over a long time on the heavy days. I do light medium heavy days. On heavy days I try to beat my time, only when I can't, I add a ladder, or if I already do 5x, I add a rung and start with 3x again. On the easy day, I do one rung lower than on the heavy day. On the medium days I do one ladder less then on the heavy days. Only time the heavy days. These workouts are between 20min and an hour or so. I finish these workouts with jumps (about 4 sets of 3 jumps, height or length), and then either sprinting or sled drags. I use an old tire with an eye bolt, washers and a carabiner with a knockoff TRX for this. On top, I try to go out as much as possible for running, walking, rucking, biking, swimming. Seems to work for me. Recovery is great so far due to the different types of training.

    @@gusjeazer The General Idea Behind What I said is giving you the ability to train multiple things in one session, how starting off with Low Volume and High Weight, Slowly then Progressing Into High Volume and Lower Weight. Then Using Explosives at the end of the Workout. The concept behind this is more about the how, rather than the what. An example of this being doing a dumbbell Bench Press as this will allow for greater range of Motion in the exercise, with an Isometric Hold at the bottom of the Movement - allowing the Weighted stretch and flexibility improvements. Start the Exercise off with a Higher Weight to Build Max Strength and Slowly Increase Volume for Endurance and Tendon Strength. End that with Plyometric Push Ups and You have a Quick Session that can train multiple attributes.
