My review is going to echo the same thing the other reviewers have noted. There's some solid content here (and I'm going to give it a try because it's endorsed by David Goggins), but it is incredibly poorly written, suffering from a lack of structure, constant verbatim repetitions, and riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. I soldiered through it because I wanted to know what the magic was that Goggins says works. The credibility of the content suffers greatly by being presented in the ramblings-of-a-madman style.

The actual meat of the book can be found between page 158 to page 184, and is only part 1 of his method, part 2 requires purchasing a course on his website (I'm not sure I have the stomach for that, but if part 1 is as life changing as is claimed, I'll revisit that decision). Everything before page 158 can safely be skipped, it's mostly the author masturbating to his own life's story. There are some tidbits of useful knowledge afterwards, but they are only helpful once you are further along in the program.

Joe heeft duidelijk een punt en heeft duidelijk veel kennis in huis. Ik geloof hem dat flexibel blijven hét fundament is voor een fysiek gezond leven. Het leent zich alleen niet voor een goed boek. Het boek heeft enorm veel herhaling, vaak zelfs letterlijke stukken tekst die 10 pagina's verder opnieuw terugkomen. Met typo's erbij lijkt het alsof dit boek geen enkele keer herlezen is voordat het gedrukt is. Het andere minpunt is Joe's afkeer tegen de traditionele wetenschap en academici in het algemeen. Hij probeert zijn methode aan te prijzen als gebaseerd op de "juiste" wetenschap, dan weet je al hoe laat het is. Joe is ook duidelijk persoonlijk gekrenkt door mensen die zeggen dat zijn methode niet wetenschappelijk is of die niet door zijn gegaan met zijn programma. Al met al heeft hij een hele sterke boodschap, jammer dat hij in de gekrenkte wappie-hoek blijft hangen, want de methode heeft zeker waarde.

Good content, very poorly written.

I am still new to learning about fitness, but the concepts in this book seem to make sense. However, the book is very poorly written and quite a nuisance to read. The author repeats himself over and over again. I think this can be good, but not to the extent that he does it. Also, a lot of the text is just transcripts from the videos that you have to purchase on their website. I have purchased a couple of his videos and they are nothing special either. To me, it seems like Joe is just trying to push a fitness product and make money, although he does claim to be on a mission to change the current paradigms of fitness. Maybe what he says is true and correct, but to me it seems more like he's just in it to make some money.

I’ve followed Joe Hippensteel ever since David Goggins referenced his stretching regimen in his own book. I’ve been stretching according to Joe’s standard for 9 months and can feel the results of full range of motion. People stop being active due to injury. Joe has a great program.

However, this book is terribly written. It circles like crazy. In fact, a few times I thought I forgot to flip the page because it was almost verbatim written from the page or two before. Also, half the book is transcribed from his video series. Which also makes it hard to follow.

Extremely disappointing. This could have been much better. I love the program, but hate the book. This could have been a great vehicle to share the program with others and help them. I’d be embarrassed to pass this book along.

I learned of Joe Hippensteel after reading Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins, in which Goggins endorsed Hippensteel’s methods and stretching program. I read the book seeking to find the best stretching regimen possible, and I thought the advice and program that it provided was pretty good. However, it was difficult to get through at times, as it was awfully repetitive and I felt the writing could have been better in general. Hippensteel comes by this honestly, though, and he is open about the fact that writing is not necessarily his forte. All in all, I am happy to have the tips and advice for his program under my belt, but I would not recommend it to others; searching up the program online and learning about it there would suffice.

Great Information. Poorly Packaged

I bought this copy because David Goggins mentioned that Joe Hippensteel helped him recover from his maladies resulting from running and abusing his body. The information in the book is good…however he sort of rambles on as if he’s just talking. He does admit that a lot of his material is just transcribed text from his videos and this makes it really hard to follow. I got to the point where I just started skimming the pages to glean information.

This book could be so much better if it was organized better.

I enjoyed this book! It is a little repetitive, but the information itself is super insightful. I appreciate the scientific explanations Hippensteel provides to support his theories/training approaches.

The program is fantastic.
The writing is not great, but it is a fast read.
