Built from Broken Quotes

“It’s worth mentioning that nutrient timing appears to be important for supplying your joints with collagen.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“If you consume 150 grams of protein per day, you could consume upward of 50 grams of collagen protein without creating amino acid imbalances in your body. But you only need 5–15 grams per day (depending on the type) to get the joint, bone, and muscle health benefits.”

“Think of collagen protein as a joint builder and type II collagen as an anti-inflammatory pain reliever.”

“You need a healthy balance of stiffness and compliance.”

“Perform exercises that train the SSC.”

“To really fortify your joints and muscles against injury, you need to help your MTJs by doing two things:”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“When rapid stretch/shorten forces occur that exceed the absorption capabilities of the MTJ, muscle and tendon strain injuries result.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“More than any other location in your muscular system, the MTJ acts as a shock absorber and spring during explosive movements.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Specifically, you need optimal tendon stiffness at the intersection of your muscles and tendons. This area is called the myotendinous junction (MTJ).”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Researchers call this optimal tendon stiffness.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Because stretching a muscle slightly before contracting it allows for greater force production, having elastic tendons becomes a competitive advantage. This is why you can jump higher when you squat down first—it stretches the muscles of your legs, creating elastic energy.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“athletes who rely on dynamic movements and elastic loading—such as basketball and volleyball players—will benefit from a more compliant (less stiff) tendon.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“The SSC refers to an active stretching of a muscle followed by an immediate shortening of that muscle. The faster the stretching movement, the more energy is stored and released during the SSC.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Your ability to prevent injury during quick movements comes down to how effectively your muscles and tendons perform during the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC).”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Even if you implement the recommendations from this book on isometric exercise and heavy slow resistance training, you’re still missing one more critical piece of the puzzle: energy loading.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“If your exercise routine consists only of running or weightlifting or playing a sport, you’re setting yourself up for injuries and pain later in life.”

“A 3- to 5-second eccentric phase is enough to control the movement and get the aimed-for adaptive response without going to extremes.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“I believe even athletes who participate in explosive sports will benefit from interspersing more slow repetition tempos to bolster connective tissue health and safely increase muscle length in commonly tight muscles. For football players, volleyball players, and other athletes who rely on explosive movements during competition, training should match the sport’s demands: more plyometric training and speed work with periods of therapeutic slow eccentric training interspersed.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“While these points are technically true (at least in the short term), you’d have to push slow movement training to an extreme for these negative side effects to show up.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“An argument can be made that slow resistance training is counterproductive for athletes because it’s demanding on the nervous system, causes more DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), and could reduce strength if passive muscle stiffness is decreased too much.”
