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 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, pitche…

Interesting. I believe there are some exercises listed that work extensors. Reverse curl and wrist extensions: https://musclewiki.com/Exercises/Male/Forearms/2

Perhaps I need to bring one of those to the first page.

Drop an email to the admins at and they may be able to help, if they haven’t already, since you’re a content creator responding to a post about your own site.

They fixed it for me.

Thanks atoll. Hope you are well <3

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

I don't know. But it could be that a female would be more inspired by seeing a female doing something hard. Whereas seeing a really pumped up dude doing it would be... well this guy is also on something. So I think it is a very good idea.

Great website and kudos for making it. Noting you have limited spare time feel free to ignore but: I would love to be able to select a collection of exercises and see a visual of which muscle groups I do and don't have covered in the chosen exercises. Perhaps with some suggestions on exercises to cover those that are missing.

A problem I have with the site is I want to keep it EXTREMELY simple.

How do you envision this working, with the current UI/UX?

"Please be gentle with me." 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/Calve…

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually should have this solved soon. I have a backlog of videos to edit that will populate the missing pages.

+1. This is a highly functional, distraction-free site.

I've found this website a while ago - it is a good one. And i do work out a lot, with plenty equipment / in different scenarios. I like to get some new inspiration every once in a while. It's important to not get stuck with your 'favourite' exercise movements.
