Message: [QUOTE="Ringostar57, post: 1518583, member: 5189"] You need short movement heavy weight for building and thickening tendons. The tendon needs to be as big/strong or slightly larger than the muscle at the point that it connects tothe muscle It's a bone>tendon >muscle connection. The tendon is the bridge. Lower weight full range motion for ligaments. The "ultimate circuit " sounds like a ligament routine. Weak tendons lead to bone/joint pain muscle strain. Rope climbing back in the 50's at SU with Coach Ben had tendon strength and size in mind. Short rapid pull ups on the rope lifting your body weight was supposed to strengthen your elbow joints and tendons. Somewhere online there are photos of Jim Brown Ron Luciano and a couple of other players climbing in full pads just outside Archbold Stadium. [/QUOTE]
