Built From Broken (Paperback)

Very in-depth and comprehensive book. It Will take a while to get through it.

Impressed with Scott Hogan, Built From Broken and SaltWrap. First was the book. OK!, I like that. Working my way through the exercise programs and am enjoying feeling good and my increasing strength. Decided to look at SaltWarp and have made two purchases: a bottle of Remodel Clinic and a Daily Fitness Planner. Next up will be the plant based drink. The Remodel Clinic pills gave me a lift in energy and quicker recovery from workouts. Loved that, however, I felt my energy was speeding up too much while the amount of sleep I needed each night was going down; I'm too old to need that (81) and discontinued taking the pills. No hard feelings, they weren't for me. The Planner is a real value. The structure it gives me for planning ahead and the history to see how far I've come are a big help. One side note on the Planner: I use the website Cronometer to track nutrition so use those pages in the Planner to list my daily warm up exercises and notes to myself.

Read the entire book in less than a week. I've been using the program for a month now. Shoulder mobility and daily pain have improved. I'm also an avid cyclist so trying to follow the program without destroying my 60 year old body by over doing it.

Complete game changer!!! Diagnosed with RA YEARS ago and didn’t ever think that weight training was something I could do seriously. I would even wear wrist wraps to do the most basic of work around the house. Following the program in Built From Broken I no longer use wraps for anything, have hit PRs that I’m proud of as a 54-year old and am doing full squats where I had proclaimed that squats were never something I could do. If you are willing to do the work Scott lays out how you can increase your body’s ability to function in light of injuries or limitations. Can’t speak more highly of this book/program. Thank you!

Your book has guided me through a long term shoulder pain, so I am expressing my admiration for the work that went into this book!

I have been a fitness instructor for 30 years. Started doing yoga, pilates and yoga to rehab from a serious car wreck. This takes it one step further. Instead of temporary pain relief, to true healing. This book gives very practicle advice with research proven methods, bravo!

Great book. Very informative and evidenced based. Author is really knowledgeable about the subject.

I have wanted this book for some time, and now that I really need it, I got it. Corrects a lot of older phallacies on injuries and healing, with new updates on research. Goes IN DEPTH of each musculo-Skeletal type of injury, and gives fairly simple recommendations of how to approach them, with excercises to assist in their healing. Not your dad's therapy book----one for our generation! Tim

An excellent resource from Scott Hogan that is focused on joint connective tissue, muscle health and strength throughout full range of motion, and recovery from injury through daily mobility and functional activities. The total body training program includes effective periodization and focuses on areas of common injury. I have given several copies to friends and family, and all are appreciated. Thank you!

I am enjoying the experience with this book. I admittedly haven't read it all as I'm experienced, but still want to learn more! I managed to put together the workouts and made a spreadsheet to simplify things. The book isn't as concise as I'd have liked, but I am grateful to have this resource regardless. And most of the time, their team has more than willing to answer my million questions. They're limited in bandwidth or else they would be! Perhaps reading all of the content prevents a lot of the potential questions. I think the cues could be worded better with some more perspectives 😃

I found this book to be an excellent guide to assessing my current physical state and correcting my ideas of how to go about strengthening my joints. It doesn't require hours per day but two days a week for beginners like me. Part 3 has pictures of the exercises and detailed descriptions of the exercises, including setup,, execution, common mistakes,, cues, and variations. I couldn't ask for better guidance.

The person this book describes is me; powering through discomfort and chronic injury through sheer will. Without a thought of a better way to do it. I'm only halfway through and it's already been enlightening. Practicing even the most basic concepts of posture and gait has shown tremdous return. I'm looking forward to in depth study to best utilize the tools provided here.

Its great. Will help me eliminate my hip pain.

I would highly suggest buying this book and implementing the workouts outlined in the back of the book. This book is the most useful “getting out of pain” book I have read. Due to being in musculoskeletal pain for so long, I have read about 15 books regarding this. I can say without a doubt tjis is the most useful. I have genuinely recommended this book to about 50 different people. This is due to how implementable this book is. The exercises and exercise program make the book an absolute gem because it provides a concise, succinct way of implementing the knowledge Scott outlines in the book. I often tell people this is the most useful book I have ever read because it helped me get out of a pain. I plan to use the workout routine for the rest of my life because you can workout indefinitely while feeling great. I cannot say enough good things about this book. Read the book, implement the workouts, and you’re on a great path of getting out of pain.

I just finished reading your book and absolutely loved it. I’m an old athlete (50) in generally good health, STILL playing soccer, but with lots of nagging joint injuries. I've been a weight lifter my whole life (mostly compound power lifts with a bit of supplemental) and have always lamented that I can't seem to "train" my joints. This book finally gives me a science-backed path forward on joint health, and hopefully healing up some of those nagging injuries! I’ve already gifted your book to a few other ex-athletes I know. Fantastic book!
