Strengthing tendons and ligaments

I remember hearing someone say something about strengthining your tendons and ligaments... How do you do this?

You can't. But they can get acclimated to moving heavier weights simply by lifting heavier over time. Generally its not an issue. Unless you are using muscle enhancing drugs so that they get stronger at such a fast rate that your T&Ls can't keep up. Thats why you hear about so many roid injuries.

unless you take steroids your tendons and ligaments will strengthen accordingly along with your muscles.

many times when you here of tendon tears it's due to using drugs in which the tendons cannot keep up with the growth/strength of the muscles.

using static contraction training principles will increase your tendon and ligament tensile strength...

This is the short version...

ROM is not necessary to increase strength but it is the preferred training method. When a sufficient load (say 110%+ of a 1RM) is placed on a muscle or muscles it causes the maximum number and types of fibers to be activated to support the load. This is what causes the adaptation...

Exclamation

..and getting a slow, controled negitive at each rep also strengthens them.

*** How can one lift 110% of their 1RM?
How can you do this statically?
Strength is gained in that area but explain how the body can handle more than max load under isometric conditions? I know they can under eccentric conditions but that's not we're talking about.

Additionally, that strength won't translate to auxotonic movements either.
