You'll notice I have them weighted. I put compound lifts with the max weight (100) so they will be shown first.
Would be useful if you went the other way and showed what muscles each exercise affected.
Thanks 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…
That guidance wasn't needed, really. It's refreshingly free of trendy design, and straightforward to use. And other things, like the ads not being in the way of the content. I'm sure you've got a list you're working on, but what's there looks great.
One minor suggestion...there are some paths that lead you to a "muscle not found" page, like this: https://musclewiki.com/Barbell/Female/Calves/. Some way of preventing landing there in the first place would probably be more intuitive. Like a popped hint when you hover over a calf if Female/Barbell is pre-selected. Or some semi-transparent overlay to suggest Calves can't be selected, etc.
Isolating 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.
The exercises featured are actually good. The problem with all of these exercise sites is that people have different weaknesses, need specific programming and learning how to do complex movements from watching videos is suspect at best.
highly individualized beginner training is like making minor corrections to a lump of clay. you don't even have a sculpture yet - there's nothing to correct.

These moves will never isolate specific muscles, and do precisely what you suggest. They work many groups, and smaller stabilization muscles at the same time.
The only way you can really isolate specific muscles is to use static machines. Still better than not working out, but not optimal.
So fear not, these are all great moves to learn! Just be careful to take it slow, and practice good technique. Not worth getting injured from being careless.
This seems to be more of, pick muscle I want to improve, and learn a few moves that involve those muscles. As you would expect, a lot of moves apply to multiple muscles.
Edit: I found a few machine workouts on there, mostly leg stuff. The large majority are free weight moves though.

Having to enter email to get the results of the fasting guide is unacceptable. It should be illegal to waste people's time like that, and it should be required to say something along the lines of "to get your results, you will need to enter an email address" prior to wasting precious time. I closed the site after.

The only tools i see there is Calorie / Macro / One Rep Max calculators along with exercise guides. Did you click on an ad?
Also here is a quick fasting guide: "Eat less." You can word it however you want, you can spread those two words out on a 6 months program and fill-in with a bunch of newage-bullshit but it IS that simple.

And not that all responses aren’t well intended, but they can sometimes come across a bit tough, especially if someone wasn’t looking for feedback.
