With mechanical intervention yes but not simply by trying to contract it too much. This is thanks to a structure called the gollgi tendon organ within muscles that detect the ammount of tension on the muscle and if it is too great the organ will simpley send information on a reflex arc that will stop the muscle contraction and drop whatever is being lifted. This is protective so that the muscle cant be over strained.

What effect will tearing the of a tendon have on its corresponding muscle?
The corresponding muscle will shrink due to the decreased activity tendon. This is because when the tendon is torn the area around the tendon will not be in very much use until the tendon is repaired which can take a good while unless professionally handled. The muscle will go back to its original size once the tendon heals and the muscle is used more.
