#32Thanks OP for sharing my website!
Please be gentle with me. This is a project website that I built out of frustration a few years ago. I know there are things that need improving and a lot of things that could be adjusted. I work full time at Brave Software (brave.com) and simply don't have time to put a ton of effort into MuslceWiki.
I do however have a big backlog of videos to add and I've slowly been working on an app. We have also re-drawn the homepage images and my long term plan is to move away from gifs to webm or MP4.
FWIW, for some reason I was unable to log into my HN account. I made a new one, but the posts seem to be limited. So looks like I'll be replying in the morning.

#33Did not see any way to select some muscles like the illiopsoas.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Yea, i'm a believe that exercise is the answer to most problems. Especially in the desk environment. The challenge for me has been introducing exercise when a problem is present. As the increased stress seems problematic in my experience.

#36Selecting lats requires a bar. Any workouts for them without equipment?
I see dumbbell rows listed for lats. If you don't have access to a dumbbell, substitute a heavy bag of some sort with a short handle. Google has some ideas on other alternatives as well, but I'd recommend against using canned food goods (or anything else you don't want to dent/break).
I’ve been using horizontal dumbbell rows for lats for years, they’re not as good as chin-ups but way better than nothing if you don’t have access to a chin-up bar.

#37Mobile experience is a bit frustrating. I cannot select obliques for the life of me.
It might warrant having another method for selecting muscles.

#38Isolating specific muscles can be useful in limited circumstances. But most of us will get better health and fitness results with compound functional movements that engage multiple muscle groups.

You usually need some kind of equipment. Might I recommend a trx knockoff? Cheap, and you can do inverted rows.
Get gymnastic rings instead of TRX.
Cheaper and way more versatile. Anything you can do on the TRX you can do on rings, and way more.
Only potential benefit of the TRX is that it might be more gentle on the hands due to the rubber handles. But after a few weeks of gripping and exercising on the rings, you'll be fine.

#40Doesn'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.
I’d think the best thing for those small overused muscles would be rest. Especially the wrist which I believe is not a muscle.
Going off the rock climbing theme: getting better at bouldering (or any other style, really) requires strengthening the muscles in your fingers. It would really be handy to have some exercises linked here for improving those muscles' firepower.
