Graham wrote an interesting article about the biomechanics of pitching as it relates to injuries.

So here is a question
Also, is there any way to strengthen the tendons? Is it really possible to make your tendons much stronger by doing stressless excersices?

An MRI won't pick up tiny tears
In terms of strengthening the ligaments - nope, not really. You can given them time to recover between loading cycles and work on strengthening supporting muscles but that's about it.

I believe that there is research
There's is also a lot of anecdotal "evidence" among strength athletes, ie weightlifters, powerlifters, bodybuilders, strongmen, throwers etc, that tendons and ligaments can be strengthened.

If there is, I haven't seen it
But I'm getting out of my depth - I'm a failure/implant guy, so I don't do much in the way in strength increase.

What do you think of
The "evidence" is actually more from the weightlifters, powerlifters etc.

Do you have a lefty bass?
I've assimilated, myself. Although, damn, I bet I could play the drums a whole lot better if they made a kit that swapped the bass drum and the high hat.

Yeah, I do

Amazed you found one...
Damn, now that you mention it, I should've had the carbon fiber/fibre bass that a friend of mine commissioned someone else to work on for me built as a lefty bass. Which reminds me, I need to check on the status of that bass. Last I spoke to the guy who was building it, it was 80% ready, but he had some financial probs and I think my friend agreed to let him sell it or something. I got to play it, once, and it would've been interesting to jam on that thing. We were building it as a fretless, IIRC...
I friggin' love my de-fretted $150 Washburn bass, though. It's long scale, too, which make it sorta unique. I LOVE playing fretless bass.

I was just looking at basses
;)
My bass is broken... (the reason I was there looking) so tell them to buy me a new one too.
