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…

Great idea and very useful website! Thank You. One suggestion: A lot of folks don't go to gym, lack access to exercise equipment etc. It might be worthwhile to have a section on how to work out the specific muscles without any equipment and in minimal space using only bodyweight/calisthenics; eg. Yoga stretches, deep squats, pushups(both Normal and Hindu) etc.

There are tabs for stretching and bodyweight exercises for each muscle.

Wow, this might be the most relevant and genuinely useful website I've come across in a while. I really appreciate the "stretches" option for those of us who don't have access to gym equipment. Thank you.

This is incredible. I’m so tired of shitty nutrition and fitness websites full of bros trynna sell me shit, total BS and unproven stuff and half baked truths. Along with the Audiophile industry, fitness and nutrition are the biggest and worst ecosystem of companies out there.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

most people don't have different weaknesses or special needs. in order to have a pronounced weak point, you need to have strong points, and untrained people aren't strong. 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.

People have muscle imbalances just from bad posture, sitting too much, and exercising with poor form (if they do exercise). Not to mention overall inflexibility that again lends to bad form. Watching videos and doing general exercises will not address these issues. They may actually make them worse.

This is as much nonsense as the people saying to check with your doctor before doing literally anything in life.

People with bad posture and weak bodies just need one thing: start exercising today. Start with weak weights / body weight. Ignore the hand wringing online unless you're 70+.

It's pretty handy! Out of curiosity, are the people demonstrating friends of yours? It seems like compiling all of that footage would have taken quite some time.

Yes! I've used various friends over the years but now I'm using friends who are professionals working in a gym in LA:

You are right though, it is very time consuming process and sometimes we get it wrong and have to go back and re-film. I have a pretty big backlog to edit and upload. It's a slow going process. Seeing this on HN has motivated me to do some extra work this weekend.

Lovely website! One thing I noticed is that https://musclewiki.com/Dumbbells/Male/Hamstrings/ returns nothing. Maybe add some dumbell romanian deadlifts? Great stuff tho :)

Yeah. Dumbbell section was added a few months ago. I have about 150 videos left to edit, upload and write instructions for. All of the dumbbell exercises being about 50 of those videos.

I'm curious: what was the reason for splitting out things for men and women?
