WILLSAN | rep range for tendon strength | 14-05-2020 @ 18:56 | |
Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | do different rep ranges help strengthen tendons? im thinking lower reps for tendon strength and higher reps for muscle strength. or is that bro-science/nonsense I made up? | ||

Several people seemed to be of the opinion that was for tendon strength. No idea if they were right, but ive never snapped a tendon so maybe there's some wisdom to the idea. | ||

I was thinking of it from the opposite way round. last few years I have been doing the bnsf where the weights are fairly light for me. suited me because my back injury isnt too fond of the heavy stuff. but that means I have been working mainly in the 6-10 rep range. was thinking that might be a factor in tearing my hammy. | ||

Tendons need large mechanical stress OR metabolic stress. The middle ground (eg 5x5) shown the slowest adaptations. | ||

I wonder if a combination of the two would work or better to stick to one or the other. | ||

no really Irish Member 1196, 5908 posts SQ 312, BP 230, DL 320862.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | Tendons need heavy load and a fair bit of it look up heavy slow resistance training. Basically linearly perodised 3-0-3 tempo lifts targeted at the joint you wanna tren. | ||

Basically linearly perodised 3-0-3 tempo lifts targeted at the joint you wanna tren. did some googling to understand this lol. had only the vaguest understanding of tempo lifting. hard to get your head round for someone who has always tried to move things as fast as possible! | ||

woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | I did some research (reading papers) on this a while back and the general impression was... it's inconclusive. One important thing most seemed to agree on though is that adaptations take longer than muscle, strength etc. I can't remember the precise timeframes but was something like six months to a year for meaningful adaptations to take place. | ||

what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10432 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | There's the old story about the guy trying to tear his achilles tendon with heavy negative calf raises who ended up healing it (not sure if the story is true but the heavy negatives do help strengthen tendons) and there's also the guys who use ridiculously high reps to help with tendon health like poundstone doing 200 rep curls. I'd recommend some really light pumping work to rehab the hamstring, could be a banded leg curl for example for 100 reps depending on what head of the muscle you have torn | ||

Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Way back I mean way back in the early 80s the Mentza school of thought was low rep high intensity sloooow negatives, forced negatives and all sorts of overloads which, we were told would not only train our muscles but would also thicken and strengthen our tendons to the point of being indestructible... | ||

I have added in super light 20 rep squats and deads in to my warm up routine before every session. still pondering on how to incorporate the heavy/slow/low rep ideas onto my routine. kinda scared of doing anything approaching heavy with squats as that is how I injured it in the first place. deads feel a lot safer so, for now at least, I think im going to try and build in to working with heavier loads there. | ||
