It is possible to "stretch" a ligament, but it's like the springs in the old click pens. They don't go back (Which is why a shoulder dislocation usually means it's easier to dislocate again, the ligaments are impaired). Tendons are much the same except they are tied to the muscle which can be stretched. The tendons don't. | |

| May 1, 2018 at 19:09 | comment | added | user28458 | I strongly believe that tendon and ligaments become permanently flexible while muscles can lose their flexibility in a few weeks. I remember when I first tried doing dips. Felt like my sternum was about to collapse, horrible pain, worked on stretching my chest and since then I can still do deep dips, even when I don't train them for months. | |
