Strength aerobics exercise selection

[brent_corkins]

Hello ,

I’ve read a couple articles about strength aerobics and sound alike a great mix for simple and sinister . Especially living in Missouri where weather can be one extreme or another give or take the day . Already throw in days of tucking or just long walks . My question is , the clean and press and squat parts easy. Find a kb you can do 10 reps and blah blah . On the body weight side notice a lot of pistols , one arms push-ups and etc being used. And the rep range of pyramids . Is this out of preference or did miss how the moves are selected . Yeah push , pull and legs makes sense . But would standard versions of squat push up and pullup work with the pyramids? Considering I’m fat and unconditioned anyways. Just starting week two of hernia surgery recovery anyways so trying to plan my return .

recover first! A hernia just messes up everything that keeps your body stable! Relevant training is definitely part of recovery.

You mention a huge number of excercises. I love the variety. however, focus on a program and keep the variety for the off-days or once-ina-while when you just bored with the standard routine.

S&S v2 is possibly the correct starting point (as you say, grab a light/moderate weight KB and blahblahblah I wouldn't do it everyday. lots of walking, building to slow jogs a few days a week with S&S 2or3 days per week.

But I'm concerned about hinging/squatting type of moves and your hernia. I have seen others really struggle! I really doubt that a 'normal' doctor will give you the best advice, find one who also understands sports and weights training.
I went in for an operation to plate my broken hand, the best advice was from the anaethetist who I saw for 15minutes, We delayed the operation by 10min because of our conversation he was built solidly (post-spinach popeye arms too!) so I asked about rehab my hand with kettlebells and I'm strong 10 months later. The surgeon had very little input about KB and weights.

I’ve been thinking of making the investment but have a couple questions: Can this workout be done without kettlebells using mostly body weight type movements, and does it take longer than about 20-30 minutes?

Brett’s book is titled ‘iron’ cardio and primarily talks about everything with kettlebells and mixes it in with pull-ups/chinups/OAPs a few times. Having said that i do remember seeing a SA styled training completely with BW (OAP, Pistol, and pull-up) somewhere in the forum. You might want to do a quick search in the articles.
