The Wes Cole workout
Despite all the information and exercises we’ve gone over, I still get calls and emails all the time of people not really knowing where to start. Today I’m going to show you a quick full body workout.
Knee specific - This is a must in every exercise routine. Here are three different exercises that are knee specific which is the lunge or the squat. Pick one of these exercises and do 3 sets of 8-10 reps.
Vertical Press/Pull – Now we move to the upper body. The two primary vertical movements are the standing shoulder press and the upright rows. Do three sets of 8-10 reps for each of these exercises.
Horizontal Press/Pull - To completely hit all muscles in the upper body we have to do some horizontal movements. These two exercises: the classic push-up and the bent over row are definitely done in the horizontal plane and will complete your workout. Three sets of 8-10 reps.
Rotational - You want something done in the transverse plane which is important for athletes. Try the medicine ball twist.
There are harder, more complex workouts but this is an excellent beginner’s routine.
Question from viewers:

I broke my knuckle in my dominant hand a year ago causing the strength in both my hand and forearm to decrease. How can I re-strengthen it?
