This is great! Precisely something I was looking for. Bonus! No ads or random lengthy articles, or an app to download. The best kind of use for a wiki!

#62Thanks 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…
Thanks for making this website! It will be very useful to a number of us.

#63Doesn'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.
Select forearms.
Re: Select a muscle and it provides the exercises to workout the selected muscle
#64Isolating 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.
This here is the quality “well actually” comments I come to HN to read. /s
You are right of course in that exercising just a single muscle and neglecting the rest isn’t ideal. But as one of the trainers I’ve worked with told me, first you work on large muscle groups with free weights which has the benefit of exercising small stabilizer muscles as well, but then you if you want to take it further you will need to exercise more specific muscle groups or even individual muscles.
Also as others pointed out, this website seems full of exercises that target large muscle groups. I actually struggled to find a more targeted exercise for a couple of specific muscles I am interested in exercising, which isn’t to say the site isn’t useful to me, just that I need to do more research.

Deadlifts & farmer carries - both have been incredible for my hands

#66This is fantastic! I often workout specific muscle groups and cycle through different exercises to target each, so this tool very nicely aligns with that. The videos are a great touch to help me make sure I have proper form. And overall seems to entirely avoid "broscience."
One feature request: list what complementary muscles each exercise targets (e.g. list "triceps" when displaying dips as a chest exercise). This would help me plan my workout when targeting multiple muscle groups, like a chest/tri or back/bi day.

Thank you for building the this. I'll make sure to share with my friends. I'm also starting to workout again so this would be helpful.

#69Earlier 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.
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.
I don't climb much these days (but I used to enjoy a spot of overhang crack climbing), but I've always been under the impression that there aren't muscles in the fingers. I just double-checked, and there are some muscles in the fingers... but it looks like they're only good for opening the hand. Are kids these days using some esoteric hand-splaying moves I don't know about, or do you mean the muscles in your forearms?

Great site - I love seeing easy to understand sites related to working out.
One thing to note - the exercises shown for the forearms only target the flexors, and none of them cover the extensors, which must be worked out if you are to have healthy forearms and hands. A common problem if you only work the flexors is golfer's elbow, which I am just recovering from now. for the sake of lifters, climbers, golfers, pitchers, and plenty of others, please include these.
