3. How To Strengthen Your Tendons

Active movement uses tendon and muscle to move bone.
The higher the speed the more tendon we use.
The faster we reverse from ECCENTRIC to CONCENTRIC or ā€œamortiseā€ the more we use the tendons.
The more we stretch a muscle and tend towards pulling it off the bone the more tendon dominant the movement becomes.
Ā 
If we pause and grind all our training then we rely on the muscles.
If we train mostly in the mid and short range but not in the stretched long range positions then we rely on the muscles.
Ā 
The magic of ATG is that when you train long range under high loads progressively tendon integrity can improve to allow running and jumping to seem to magically become more effortless.
