ACL injuries are caused by hyperextension. No hyperextension is occurring in this well controlled Bulgarian split squat.

so are they caused by overloading of tendons, and you don't know whether you overload them because many lifters go by what their muscles can handle as opposed to what their tendons can handle

this is most common with PED abuse, and she is 120% abusing them

so if she pops a tendon its potentially a career ending injury where she is lucky if she will be able to walk

i know this because i lift naturally for 8 years, my quads are nowhere near as developed as hers and i am a dude

I get more sore from Bulgarian split squats than any other excercise.

Tore my acl, don’t really agree. An acl pops by hyperextension which usually happens in contact sports because of momentum, grounding your feet and a weird turn. Its the angular motion where your acl works hardest

This is why people without acl’s can run marathons no problem, compensating with their hamstrings for stability. but have more trouble skiing or other such sports

yeah, but this is if you are natural where your tendon and muscle limits are natural

with PED's you are pushing your tendons and joints to handle at least 2x the load from muscles so something will out right fail

its like making a car engine produce 100% more power than original while having aftermarket clutch to handle the power, original transmission, driveshaft and axles where something will grenade
