This is super cool. Thanks to the OP for making it. I can see how every page can be turned into (probably already is) a keyword/SEO landing page. All the best with Muscle Wiki!

OP didn't make this. This is my site. But thanks. No SEO tricks. I just wanted to make the site.

Why do they distinguish between genders? Pretty sure curls are going to work the biceps if you are a male or female.

When I first made the site, my wife asked me if I had videos of women doing the exercises. So I added them. Simple as that.

Yea, it's a bit odd. There are only a handful of gender-specific exercises in the directory[0], but that seems to be down to having a video for it. [0] https://musclewiki.com/Directory

Yeah, I actually have a big backlog of videos to edit.

Doesn't seem to do anything when you select the hands. For those of us stuck to a computer most of the day I would think that hand and wrist exercises would be critical.

What's the data source for this? I've used exrx for ages, but I've become increasingly frustrated over lack of exercises that have been developed since it came out (like landmine exercises) or form suggestions that are out of date.

You're out of your mind if you think exrx has form suggestions that are "out of date". I can understand the lack of exercises, even though they continuously update their exercise database.

Exrx is bar none the best one stop ship for fitness, nutrition, and athletic performance out there. The only reason it hasn't exploded in popularity is because the site looks straight out of the 90s

I’d think the best thing for those small overused muscles would be rest. Especially the wrist which I believe is not a muscle.

Rock climbing fixed my hand pain so I’m not so sure that rest is always best.
