How fast can tendons actually get stronger?
Faster than you think — research shows measurable changes in just 6 weeks!
Early gains come from improved material quality (collagen organization & stiffness).
Structural growth (cross-sectional area) takes longer — months, not weeks.
The key? High strain, slow tempo, and consistency
