After wanting to build up my shoulders, I went to YouTube and looked for exercises. The utter madness I've been served searching for this was staggering. Overhyped bodybuilders promoting pills, fitness influencers, equipment I didn't have, but they knew the best shop for it, etc...
This is clean, straight, I love it.
Starting my workout NOW.

After inputting your information, why is there a countdown before the results are shown? Surely filtering through a few hundred exercises (being generous here) by muscle group doesn't take 5 seconds? Is a delay being artificially added (eg. [1])? [1] https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/02/why-s...

> anyone with a lick of python can generate millions of workouts
Are you offering an API for the workout generator?
Any plans to generate workout plans for a week/month and incorporate rest days?
The bodyweight workouts, for instance, are sparse and rudimentary and the generator comes up with a pretty disjoint and insufficient program at all intensity levels.
That's not to say that you're obliged to replicate Overcoming Gravity or TRX or something, but it's unclear why bodyweight even appears as an option in the genrator at this point, let alone at levels beyond beginner.
If it's not really an expansive wiki and is instead just a collection of your own high-production-value workout descriptions (which seem well made) for contemporary weight training, it makes sense that there's only a narrow "happy path" through the generator -- maybe the presentation should be more focused on that happy path and less overbroad?
One thing I don't get is that you click a muscle group and sometimes it turns red and sometimes pink. What is the difference? And then I click on the opposite muscle on the back of the body and the front disappears. A bit of twiddling to get it right. Maybe a small animated intro with how to would help here.
