#173This is pretty cool, but missing the ever crucial tibialis anterior muscle!

Re: Select a muscle and it provides the exercises to workout the selected muscle
#175Well 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!
The usual advice is to do Starting Strength (little bit more technical, is a book) or StrongLifts. (little easier, is a website)
Both are focused on barbell compound lifts. There are many many strong opinions on what type of weight is best in what schedule, with many persuasive arguments backing them up. This is because you will get stronger and gain muscle mass if you eat at a surplus and do basically anything involving picking up a weight.
Meat doesn't actually care about the routine! Your triceps can't tell if you did six reps or seven. Just doing some kind of heavy lift is enough.

#176Great website!
Quick suggestion o biceps: all exercises there are upright, and have a horrible resistance curve - they provide almost no effort at the top of the movement. Try maybe seated dumbbell curls (leaning 45 degrees towards the back). Also cable curls, leaning slightly forward, with a low pulley.
For triceps, the overhead triceps extension (again with a low pulley) is a great exercise, very underrated - and one of the very few that works all three heads of the muscle.
For chest, cable flies also offer a very good resistance curve.

Popular beginner, intermediate and advanced barbell routines are typically structured around the concept of Main lifts (most often: Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift and Overhead Press) and accessory lifts. (I'm not trying to explain this to you, an experienced lifter, but to others reading this post with less experience)
The program typically tells you how to structure and progression of the main lifts, e.g. when, how many sets, the rules of increasing/decreasing the weight etc.. However, many of those programs give the user freedom in choosing their accessory exercises according to some rules. Example: Do your main lifts, then perform x sets, y reps of an accessory lift targeting $muscle_group. The plan will typically make some recommendations for accessory exercises to choose from, of course, but the emphasis most often lies on the fact that they can be changed. The modification and individualisation is built into the routine. Popular examples for this style of programming in beginner/intermediate plans are 5/3/1 variants or Greg Nuckols' programs.
So in short, I don't agree with a site like this in general lacking a target audience, I would consider myself advanced (~7 years of continuous strength training) and I still look up exercises from time to time nonetheless for multiple reasons, and I don't hold encyclopedic knowledge of every exercise for every muscle group. I agree that it is bad advice for a beginner to go to such a site and just pick exercises "at random", but as far as I can see that isn't how the site advertises itself.

#178What’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.
Thanks :)

#179Thanks 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…
Thanks for building this! I love that this exists, and want to encourage you to continue. 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. Another great area to expand is 'click where you have pain' and it would recommend certain stretches, weights,…
For real, first thing I did was try and click the neck but it’s unclickable

#180Great resource OP,
Why aren't obliques and lower abs available though?
