Re: Select a muscle and it provides the exercises to workout the selected muscle
#162Is there any way to select the core "pelvic floor" muscles (or whatever their technical name is)? Beyond anything to do with incontinence, my understanding is that they are intimately involved with back pain and are one of the most important muscle groups to strengthen, as flexing them (or not) influences the position of most other parts of the body. (When people say "walk tall", what they really mean is "turn your p…
Look up for hollow body hold, there are a lot of variation depending of your level.
Re: Select a muscle and it provides the exercises to workout the selected muscle
#163Well 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!
I got convinced by and fell in love with the r/bodyweightlifting Recommended Routine - I now advertise it left and right, for a quick link see: https://tinyurl.com/bodyweightrr I found it soothing and empowering how they calmly yet persistently insist on starting small and not overworking yourself, and explain a lot with science. They describe how to scale the exercises depending on your fitness level (or lack thereof), they also list amazingly many ways how to do exercises with minimal or no equipment (I started with only a door bar, though even that can be worked around if really needed; some year later I decided to add gymnastic rings to that, and I don't expect to need more for long time, if ever).

"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…
If OP has lurked HN before, chances are they’ve seen how HN can respond to other sites. Even if it wasn’t necessary, can understand why they might think it was. 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.
Apparently they work at Brave. HN likes to tear into Brave whenever it comes up, so I can see how they might have that impression.

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.
Lateral pulls are basically sitting pullups, and tend to be a lot easier on the neck. They're associated with a big ol' piece of gym equipment, which might be.... tough to get your hands on right now, but definitely look into them. You're right, though, that deadlifts (performed correctly and safely!) are pretty amazing for your back in general.

If you've got something up high to tie a band to, that's something.
Re: Select a muscle and it provides the exercises to workout the selected muscle
#166Thanks 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…
I just wanted to say this looks like a fantastic resource. Thank you so much for developing it.

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.
There are tons of resources for climbing specific training. Here's a good primer on finger strength training:

Those are tendons in fingers that respond to hypertrophy for climbing, or more specifically the tendon collagen, not muscles. But that's only one strength component of climbing, probably more so for bouldering specifically, but hand grip endurance and power also require forearm strength as well. I am not sure if that would be helpful for sitting in front of a computer.
I returned to climbing after a long hiatus, and my issues with discomfort and kinks in my back while sitting for long periods sorted themselves out in a couple weeks.

There are tabs for stretching and bodyweight exercises for each muscle.
If you mean like this: https://musclewiki.com/Bodyweight/Male/Forearms/ You can see how there is still equipment required.
The inverted rows can be done hanging from a table or desk.

#170What’s the immediate area below the abdomen called? I tried clicking on that and nothing came up. Also, this is not the correct platform but how can I get a tapering V shape around my torso?
I believe that is still your abdomen. Just the lower part.
You would get that v-shape by first gaining muscle and then reducing body fat.
