💪🏼Achilles Tendon Strength ⤵️
â €
đź’ĄIf the goal is to produce more force vertically, jump higher and land in a more organized fashion, then step 1 is to build a monster Achilles tendon.
â €
🧠Strength and durability can be layered onto the Achilles tendon in both a direct and indirect fashion. Direct examples are when you are trying to load that area in a solo mission. Indirect examples are when you load that area along with other areas of your body (i.e., knees) being loaded simultaneously.
â €
đź‘ŁEither way, let's start getting your Achilles strong, durable and resilient to the stressors and demands being placed on it in sports that include high volumes of jumping, landing, cutting and the like.
