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

More than could possibly be imagined :) Not very good at proactive distance social still, but if you’d like to chat, reach out any time (fox2 can reconnect us, and any of my old details still work too.)

> Like a lot of people working in tech, I've had persistent neck and posture issues for years. I'd love to see you expand to cover those, focusing on the many smaller muscles in the neck like SCM/Scalenes/Occipitals/etc. I did some things on-and-off for posture (mostly rear delts), but what I did consistently, and think helped the most, was heavy (for me) deadlifts. I'm curious: how many pullups can you do? I ask bec…

Unfortunately I'm limited in what I can do overhead due to an old neck injury, so pullups are out. Most upper body stuff causes me pain so I have to be extra careful dialing in the right movements, weight, and reps. I've heard deadlifts are one of the best exercises, I can't wait to get back to PT and get a personal trainer so I can do those correctly. I doubt I've done enough with lats.

Have you tried archery? My neck and shoulderproblems got a lot better after I started with that.

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…

Lovely website, thanks a million for making this! Just a quick bug report: At https://musclewiki.com/Exercises/Male/Traps_middle/ when you want to go next page it directs you https://musclewiki.com/Exercises/Male/Traps%20(mid-back)/2 which causes 404. It should direct to https://musclewiki.com/Exercises/Male/Traps_middle/2 . I assume root cause of this is that you are getting next page link from title.

Wow nice find. I'll fix this soon.

Well done site. I have a little mixed feelings about the target audience. Working out for many years (gym and calisthenics) I know a lot of exercises. Beginners might be tempted to approach their fitness by asking that question: what muscle I want to grow today? That is not the way to go. If you start out or especially during a pandemic where you need to work with everything you can get go for composite exercises tha…

Can you share a good resource for beginners to find some pre-configured plans? Thanks!

Take a look at some of the recommended routines from thefitness.wiki https://thefitness.wiki/routines/ .. it's the wiki from sidebar of r/fitness, which is also a great place to hangout incase you have questions

I liked “You are your own gym” by Mark Lauren when I started out with body weight training back around 2010. There is a companion app that is free and still updated called Bodyweight Training by Mark Lauren. There are many offerings around this area. Try a few out and let us know what works for you :)

Great site. Such a great idea. Gonna check it out more when I have time. I know everything there is to know about shoulder/rotator cuff muscle exercises due to my shoulder dislocation injuries over the years, so I'll gladly contribute with that if some exercises are missing.

Great stuff you made here. Can't tell you the amount of time I've spent trying to find the right exercises for this/that muscle group
