Exercises that increase tendon injury

[jJjburton]

So i was curious what exercises increase tendon injury?

Barbell Bench
Mixed Grip deadlift

What else is there?

 

[Demondosage]

Going too heavy on skullcrushers and tricep pressdowns

 

[Whopperflopper]

Seen too many times, throwing 315 on flat bench and showing off.

Going to heavy on almost any exercise has the potential but for me locking out on hacksquats gross watching someone's knees fold backwards

Hack squats are hard on the patellar tendon (because you cannot shift the hips backward), skullcrushers & preacher curls or barbell curls on the common extensor tendon (lateral epicondylitis), overhead pressing on the rotator cuff tendons.

You can say the same about the leg press machine pretty much, whether the seated or the angled one right?

For me:

Skullcrushers
Barbell Bench (especially going heavy)
Side/front raises (too heavy a weight used)
Underhanded barbell rows

Leg press machine is usually more hard on the lumbar spine discs but if you experience this it could be due to a poor configuration of the seat for you - and if not adjustable to comfort, a poor design. A technique that many use to maintain a flat back as well as to get more ROM on the leg press is to perform it as a single leg press for each leg.

Skull crusher
hack sqaut
any overhead pressing (cartilage damage)
flat barbell
shrugs

When you perform shrugs, do you raise your elbows pretty high (like near parallel with the upper arm segment, turning into almost an upright row)?

Yeah mate but two different ways straight upwards and more push backwards bent forward

OK, a lot of people do experience impingement of the shoulder when the point of the elbow reached 90° with the floor and with greater elevation of the shoulder and upper arm. I'd perform the shrugs strictly, just focusing on a "straight up" shrug (contraction of the upper trapezius, with arms hanging by sides) and avoid any rotational forces in this exercise. Treat the upright row (where the first sentence also applies) & the shrug as two different exercises (the first to target the medial deltoid & the latter to target the trapezius upper segments).

Thank you I will definitely do this appreciated

Put dips and seated dip machine on the list, great exercises but tend to various tendons in compromising positions.
