  The cool thing about tendon strength is… it’s a type of strength you always can progress on. A 60 year old can have a stronger tendons strength than a 30 year old. As an example, a 73 year old Norwegian has set the world record for world’s strongest grip.

  I have weak tendons and in runs in my family, my older brother has injured himself multiple times, so thank you for teaching us what most workout experts ignore.

  I had tricep tendonitis for years until I found one YouTuber recommending isometric tricep exercise by leaning against a wall with arms bent. Triceps got better in a matter of weeks. That’s when I realized how good isometrics can be. Isometrics allow you to safely do heavy load.

  For me personally, tendon strength is more important as I get older. I have found myself focusing more on joint mobility and strength. I am 50.

  I have hypermobility and very prone to tendonitis, so I want to prioritise tendon strength. This was very helpful, thank you.

  Be careful! First YT comment ever, I’ve had weeks of complications after doing isometric holds so it was worth speaking up. No history of tendonitis but added iso quad holds based on the recommendations here as an alternative way to strengthen after years of weight training. Now I have intractable quad and patellar tendonitis after only 2-3 weeks of doing quad iso holds. Perhaps these help people in pain but if you’re not in pain I’d recommend against them.
