I read somewhere that Kevin Bacon snapped one of his achilles tendons while learning dance moves for one of his movies. Footloose.

Just because I love a good argument, the first 20 sites on goggle that said you could strengthen tendons were all bodybuiding sites or trying to sell something.

The first site I visited written by an Orthopedic Surgeon said,

A tendon is just the part of the muscle that attaches the muscle to bone. The tendon itself is made up of collagen fibers, that do not have the ability to contract. So it is not really possible to strengthen the tendon, but you can build up the tendon's muscle.

Usually, it is best to strengthen muscles in their agonist-antagonist pairs. So that the joint which the muscles move does not get muscle bound on one side. Thus, in the thigh, the quads and hamstrings both should be strengthened.

The spate of pectoral, bicep and someone just today has been reported as tearing his calf muscle off the bone, are all due to overloading muscle work and not enough stretching etc. Tendon rips off like a scallop :p

More is not always better with strength training. :cool:

So if choc had biceps like Josh Reynolds, he would not have torn his bicep?
