LIGAMENTS CAN GROW STRONGER WHEN TRAINING IN FULL RANGE OF MOTIONS Just much slower than muscle due to less blood flow A ligament connects bone to bone, so it makes sense this connective tissue receives significantly less blood flow than muscles. They are also denser, stronger, and deeper in the body than muscles. But make no mistake - they can grow overtime It’s unreasonable to say ACL tears can be 100% prevented, but increasing your pound for pound strength in knee flexion, as well as training a full pain free range of motion deep knee bend, help stack the deck in your favor Building the body from the inside out will never be to your disadvantage
It also doesn’t help that the health industry still somehow thinks that icing a wound heals and rest is the only thing that you need when icing is the worst thing for a wound and strengthening the weak points like this is what’s needed not just doing nothing
