When we talk about tendon stiffness, we're essentially discussing how well a tendon can transmit force. A less stiff tendon can be thought of as a thin rubber band whereas a stiffer tendon would be a much thicker rubber band. Which one snaps with more force? The thicker one, of course! Adding...

Lifters often forego isometric training as they feel it won’t have much impact on hypertrophy. While that may have some truth to it, isometric training is incredibly beneficial for joint health. This study found that isometric training significantly increased patella tendon stiffness compared to...
ASTRAGALOSIDE IV
Astragaloside IV (ASIV) is a glycoside (sugar-bound molecule) from the astragalus plant. Astragalus is used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM); like many “traditional” plants, the actual effects from the dried or whole plant are not strong enough pharmacologically to merit...
