Do tendons get thicker aswell with strength training?

Yes, time under tension encourages tendons and ligaments to grow and get stronger just like muscles. However, this process lags significantly behind muscle growth. This is one reason why it's so important to focus on good form as a new lifter, in order to prevent tendon injury. This is also why so many people who use steroids end up with tendon injury: their muscle growth greatly outpaces their tendon and ligament growth and they over do it.
