Lifting Techniques...

Sean , Thanks for the breakdown of the lift. Connective tissue is a big source of injury, as it is being pushed to the limit.
Doing a lift that you specify require Training in technique for that lift. The body is then exposed to the possible hazards if done improperly.
If a person exercises to strengthen connective tissue along with muscle then the likely hood of that type injury is greatly reduced. But "training" those muscles to do that lift is critical. We differ in our opinions of strengthening the connective tissue.

Connective tissue strengthening requires lower resistance over longer times as the muscle strengthens much faster than connective tissue. After the C Tissue is strengthened then lift all the big stuff you want with better protected tendon and ligaments.
