How can i strengthen my mcl and acl?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
You cannot: The mcl and acl ligaments are structures that develop on their own. They cannot be strengthened with exercises or training. You can, however, strengthen supporting muscles such as the quads and hamstrings that control motion through the knee.

Quad strengthening: The knee is more stable when the quad is stronger.
