Tendon training is crucial for longevity, pain-free movement, and superior athletic performance. While all weight training/calisthenics will train the tendons to some degree, general training falls short of optimally developing them for maximum performance.
Combine the limited moves we often use in the gym with our inactive lifestyles, and tendon problems are common. Tendon training can reverse this and may help to build "freak athletes."
So, how do you go about strengthening the tendons?
There are a few options. Because tendons can withstand greater force than can muscle, using heavy partials and other strategies to significantly overload a movement can be effective.
More efficient, though, is to put the muscle into a stretched position.
Ben Patrick AKA KneesOverToesGuy has done more than anyone else to promote tendon training and is especially known for building bulletproof knees. Ben uses a combination of short-range movements and long-range movements as part of his ATG system to systematically strengthen the tendons before taking them through a full range of motion.
HUGE thank you to Ben for appearing in this video! Stay tuned for the full chat, coming soon. And thanks, as well, to Paul Clutterbuck for hosting me and demonstrating several of the moves.
Enjoy the video guys! And let me know if I missed anything in the comments down below. Do you guys train tendons? What are your top tips?

Bioneer is one of my favorite people! Honored to have been involved in this. I look forward to more collaboration. Thank you brother 🫡🙏
The feeling is mutual! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. And absolutely, hopefully the first of many 💪🏻💪🏻
two of my favorites in this area... your curiosity & wisdom have been a great benefit for countless people on all sides of all ponds.
@@TheBioneer your both amazing. Tackling advanced training protocols,
And helping people be active way into their older age.
Love both of you guys thanks for everything you do x
Hey! Ben... Good to see you both collaborate.
Jameel Ahmed!
Great to see you guys collaborating. Many many years ago I was a gymnast in high school. My coach used to have us strectch for 30 to 40 seconds then instead of releasing that stretch, isometrically activate those same muscle under the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds then release. He said he had read a paper that said that would strengthen our tendons. So for 45 years now whenever I stretch I do it that way. You guys just validated that. Thanks
A Bioneer and Knees over toes guys Collab is so perfect, they both give completely unique ideas compared to everyone else
Cliff Notes version:
4:03 High volume, high frequency training
6:50 weighted stretching
8:44 short range movements
10:14 long range movements
12:40 outer range
13:05 polymetric/shock training/isometric
I'd add
13:37 Isometric Training
~ 14:14 Quasi-Isometrics (slow reps)
~ 14:20 Overcoming Isometrics (push/pull against immovable force for approx. 6 sec.)
~ 14:28 Ballistic Isometrics (Max effort as quick as possible against immovable object (th-cam.com/video/Gp2AMkdXM90/w-d-xo.html))

Isos maybe the secret to speed and longevity
This guy deserves a billion subs
Honestly
more like 8 billion
I disagree. I would say his sub count is fine
@@oy3930 he is useful, I guess only few look for this and get it so maybe. But it is good and deserves more
@@oy3930 knock yourself out or do better than him boy
You, Ben Patrick and Squat University are absolute godsends to the global fitness community. Especially for those of us entering middle age, who, more than ever, need these insights into tendon health and mobility. Thanks a million!
hell ya! love these channels
Great list. Agreed. I'd also add Ido Portal
100%
Just turned 30 - been focusing now, more than ever, on mobility & flexibility. Even taken a few Yoga classes within the past few weeks.
Ben Patrick the one that claims that the tibialis is the most important muscle in the body?
I can't believe I've never considered tendons too deeply. As a climber this info is invaluable.
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO SHOWING EXERCISES FOR EACH TENDON! YOURE A LEGEND, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
I messed my knee up terribly while rucking and I couldn’t squat all the way. Ben Patrick’s movements seriously changed my life and my confidence for movements has moved to a whole other level. I honestly believe atg movements are all I need forever!
Flexibility my friend that's key
Same! I recently decided to really push that kind of training and some aggressive yoga. My knee finally feels better.
Tendons are underrated. Thank you to all of you for putting this together.
Could you make a video on specific exercices or variations for each body part ? And how to implement it in your routine. Like is it good to add specific sets of isometric holds / quarter reps on your main exercices, can you do specific tendons work on off days, how fast do you recover from it, can you just add specific exercices at the end of your training. It feels really hard to actually implement it except for the range of motion aspect. I could figure out on my own by experimenting but I would love to have more insight from you and I think it would help people more than a video on the actual science of tendons.
Please do this!
Agreed!
Yes please
That's something I would also would like to see!
I would like this
Dude. How are you at 670k already? I remember finding you at like 40k and thinking how your content deserves way more. Way to go man. Keep being great and preaching health!
Good content considtentally gets viewer retention and returns
Another great video! And it's always a pleasure having you film your videos here, and I thank you for inviting me to take part in this video.
Weighted stretches are also amazing for hypertrophy when done right after a normal working set. No wonder why I, who emphasizes weighted stretches, feel like my tendons and joints have gotten bulletproof!
I like to include pauses or holds as some form of progressive overload. After weight and reps ofc. That tension accumulation is very underrated for bullet proofing.
People tend to do squats variations and rely on the stretch response from the bottom to get back up. But let’s say you can do 10-12 good constant in out reps with a weight, before you up the weight, try pausing at the bottom each rep the next time you try. It will humble you. Then aim to get 10-12 good reps again and you can up the weight and do regular reps.
Personally, that’s the easiest way for most people to start building tendons/muscles, get strong and get big. In addition like with the bioneer and KOT guy, limit kinesiophobia. Load correctly, train hard, train safe and become bulletproof.
Great video! I really appreciate all the content you cover!
Another solid video, thanks Adam! Can't wait to see you hit 1M subs
Exactly the video I wanted when I needed it. My man.
Great video, thanks to Bioneer and Ben for the content they share!
So so happy to be watching this channel and taking on ideas and training philosophies from such a fantastic teacher!!!!! Thanks, Bioneer and kneesOverToesGuy
I can not express how long I've searched for tendon information after your first tendon video. I'm very excited to see this pop up!
Awesome collab with two of my favourite coaches!
I was literally thinking of revisiting your older video on tendon strength probably the exact minute this was uploaded.
big collab! I am currently in the process of putting together a tendon training regimen so this video is incredibly well timed!! Thanks, man!
IV been looking for real information on tendon training for years glad some are looking into it finally.
this was great. One of the best informational videos on youtube
Fantastic video! Surely one I'll be coming back to time and again for reference! Thanks, Adam and crew!
Dude!!! Thank you for this. I’ve been looking for good resources on this exact subject
This is the team up I've been waiting for! I attribute my healthy knees and joints to the info I've gotten from these 2 fantastic teachers. Thank you both for everything you have shared.
This collab just made this Thanksgiving extra special! LOVE This!!
This was one of favorite videos, great to hear your perspective, reasoning and explanation of advantages of knees over toes style training
You might never read this but the two of you (along with daniel vadnal, he also deserves the spotlight) have no idea how much influence and inspiration you've been just pouring over me, in both a lifestyle and career sense. I've been a bit demotivated with a lot of pain and injuries lately but just casually watching this video right now and a few others are making me hopeful and excited to just do things with intention and get better at them, as it always happens when watching you. I can't express how thankful I am that you guys do what you do, and that I have found you. You are literally changing lives, for the better.
What a beautiful comment.
you guys together awesome!!!
Ben Patrick has uncovered some incredible exercises to target and train the knees and our full range. Now that I have just learned about overcoming isometrics and how powerful and beneficial they are for the tendons I'm even more excited. You can use a yoga strap to push 100% from the bottom of an ATG split squat! I've been doing the same with a heel elevated deep squat (The strap simply goes over your legs) and I have felt my patella tendon more precisely than I knew was possible. I can feel every centimeter of it and it's exact shape. It's being completely seen and trained for the first time in my life. Overcoming isometrics can now take knees over toes exercises to the stratosphere. There are people than gain more strength in a month than in 2 years of their weight lifting, because that form of exercises is what the tendons love more than anything.
I'm already subscribed, but very excited to learn more about the links between fascia and tendons. These seem to be used a lot in the "internal" martial arts. Can't wait!
Two of my favorites collabing, I love it!
Love your vidsman...bless you...and thanks for sharing this info!
Adam sir is a gem in fitness community
I purchased your program a few days ago because I like your multidisciplinary approach. Haven't read much yet but excited for it. I've been training with yoga and calisthenics on an off for about 4 years now. I've made huge strides in the last two years and I'm just trying to keep that craving up.
Thanks Bioneer! I messed this video. I have RA and love the info and inspiration to keep me moving in all directions:)
thank you both. Ben is the no 1
Looking forward to the full conversation. I love collaboration videos, expecially if I'm such a big fan of both parties like with you and Ben Patrick 👍
I recently found your Channel and I am very grateful for your science.
I like looking at the body from a complex perspective. It's such a pity there are so few people talking about that. Big thanks to Bioneer and Ben Patrick.
great episode, thank you
Just what I needed! ❤
Great video,
Fantastic information you shared.
Thank you
Bro thank you so much for providing us with this knowledge free of charge. You, Ben Patrick, and Bill Maeda are my heroes.
yea maaann👍🔥
the collab everyone needed.
Was watching the old tendon video so this one is gonna be great 😎
Brilliant. Thanks Brother!
Great explanation. Thanks!
THANK YOU !!!
I've already resolved to restart my fitness goals, focusing on grip strength. I know a bit about all sorts of concepts and borrowed from martial arts, to rock climbing, to arm wrestling, and of course standard weight training, cross fit, isometrics, yoga...
I thought I'd have to spend a huge amount of time developing the proper path... and then I found your channel. This is RED PILL level mind blowing. You touch on things I knew and expand on them beyond what I could have ever hoped. You've literally compiled and linked every conceivable ( & inconceivable ) theory in many many videos. (Strength without bulk is the 1st video I seen)
I'm going to be binging your content and taking LITERAL notes for likely weeks, to merly outline what I need to do.
I'm not being hyperbolic. Your content is exactly what I need. Priceless.
I cannot convey my gratitude, but "thank you" will have to suffice.
Lovely work mate!
This explains why the Kettlebell is one of the best tools for fitness, and gives somewhat of an explanation to the "what the hell" effect.
Kettlebell is very functional. I guess cause it's smaller than a barbell but can be handled in more ways than a dumbbell.
Thank you so much for all your very good work it has made a bigly difference in my life
YES!! Thank you!
Finally I've been waiting for a remake of this video for a long time.
Fantast material, once again, mate.
Great collaboration between two Masters ...
Awesome, man!! Commenting here to increase the engagement!
Just purchased Superfunctional 2.0. You're speaking my language Adam. Thank you for the knowledge
Commenting for the algorithm. Yours and mine. Tendons are one of my greatest priorities personally so this is great.
This is truly a amazing video, bro
Awesome video 👏
This is why I'm subscribed to bioneer. Thanks brother
More tendon videos plz. Amazing content
I've been following KOTG's stuff and using a lot of his programming/movements.. but this gives some more info on the how and why it works! Love this content!
Love this topic. I've actually just taken up running and need a way to strengthen the tendons in my feet
Thank you so much. I was asking for tendon training and i got it.
So the take away is more time under tension and slow motion contraction. Plus bounce.
Great video and reminder to focus more on my tendon strength when training. Can't wait for the full conversation with Be Patrick too.
Christmas came early this year!!!! I always wanted this crossover!!!
What great and informative Chanel keep up the great work
Two legends together!
Fascinating stuff, very informative
Great video! Would love the video about walking that you mention at the end.
Awesome! Thanks
This is very enlightening. Thank you. 69 yr and determined toward quality of life.
Great stuff!
I love it when fitness Fave's meet up and promote wellness. Been watching Ben for 2 years and almost all knee, hip, and back pain are gone. 63 and making it happen. I do ATG split squats daily with light weight, backward walk on a "Deadmill", backward 40 yard sprint in the grass, and crazy chase the little dog drills that load the sides of the knees as I play with my training partner. lunges across the yard with and without weights. Adam also gets a big nod for bodyweight training with 2 sets of rings in the tree and a 35' rope on another. the Bruce lee core training is the most intense I have done and am nowhere close to total core lockout of my body for 1 arm pushups. I am able to hold a 3/4 height 1 arm solid hold for 30 seconds on each arm and am working on it every other night. Bruce is a total control beast of a human! Adam's not too shabby either. Ben packing on some size and still has a unreal vertical jump alone is reason enough to follow these guys! Thank you for the health I have from trying to follow your examples, and lessons.
FUN-tastic vid !! a vid about joint health and possible cartilage regenaration would be also great!!
I love your videos. I've just found you by accident a few weeks ago. Very positive. You've really changed my attitude. And improved my shoulder stability. Thank you x
Great stuff, Adam. I like how modern exercise science just confirms the value of what have been basic training modalities in Chinese boxing styles for centuries.
Love your videos
Thank you for having a discount on Super Functional training 2.0!
I have so much to learn from you, and now for only 13$
Just bought it! Thanks!
this guy deserves way more subs
This is awesome, Adam! Thank you for all the quality content over the years. It has helped me out a ton! I was also wondering, what are your thoughts on circuit training? I love it for functionality, but don't have a ton of experience with it. Would love to hear what you recommend for it!
Loving the quality. Could you make a video about boosting and training the immune system?
Ben might be the only person I've ever seen that consistently and repeatedly encourages people not to buy his own products. I've never heard him try to push any bullshit about how his plastic wedge is magically better than any other plastic wedge, he really does want to make this stuff as accessible as possible.
Yea he's a cool dude. All facts no bullshit.
Dude the cinematography looks like the first series of Utopia (the uk version). Mad props!
Thank you! 😁
Thanks to this channel covering Ben Patrick some time ago, I started doing KoT training and finally fixed by bad knee and back. I wasn't even looking to fix my back, it just happened by doing the programs, especially Dense. If you have nagging pains, or just want to avoid them in the future, it's worth checking out.
I did the official program for 10 months, and then something similar on my own for another 8. I combined Adam's program with Ben's to great effect.
Now that I feel healthy, I started doing other programs, but I still use his exercises and methods.
Thank you
This HAD to happen. ❤️
Awesome video! Thank you so much!
Will you also make a video on ligament training? Possibly how it links to fascia also?
cool stuff. thank you.
Big respect for the continuous amazing work.
Just one thing I've noticed, you don't use much rotation when throwing punches.
It's not a simple thing to get the technique right, might be a good idea to get personal training sessions with an experienced boxing coach.
Overall you are a beast my friend, keep up the good work!
I've been watching this channel for about 3-4 years and JUST realized I WASNT SUBSCRIBED!!! Let's fix that mate. Your contents always been awesome dude!
Thought provoking!
Very valuable content
Thanks for the great content 👍🏽🏐
Thank you thank you.
Nice I've been unknowingly training my tendons by adding unorthodox movements, increased rep ranges and knees over toes squats
