dude i made an account just to say thanks for making this. I think we used to use the same endian website many years ago, i recognise your username (im exe). If you need help maintaining/coding/design/hosting please let me know and I'll dm you on the musclewiki social media accounts. I also suggest putting up a donation link.
Also, any chance of oblique exercises or am I just misusing the site?

#242Pretty cool.
Just launched our beta version of https://impossiblefitness.com/exercises after getting a bunch of requests like this.
I think this type of thing is super useful and very underrated.
Next step for us is building out the training programs so people have specific training methods for whatever their goals are.
Good luck with all this!

#243Thanks 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…
Thank you for building it! I have been using it since last April during lockdown when gyms were closed!
Re: Select a muscle and it provides the exercises to workout the selected muscle
#244Well 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…
So I like to work out and I use some app which tells me how much % of what muscle I have worked out, also my personal trained told me to vary things up. I could use this website, to understand better on how to train my weakest muscle or how to add variance to my already made plan if I'm plateauing somewhere or some of my muscles are behind.

I like the feature of being able to select what equipment you have available. Lots of us lost access to a gym with COVID and don't have the ability to put a power rack in our abode. A simple concept, but great execution! PS: Do you know where I can download more RAM for my computer? It's been a bit laggy recently.

Echoing other comments: this is a great clean site and I’d like to see smaller muscles as well.
But my main comment is why not turn it in to an actual wiki? Maybe even put it on github and let people submit pull requests. With a submitter agreement you’d still be free to make an app and profit, but it might help remove you as the bottleneck

Seems to be a major driver for small-scale innovation in computing-related fields.

Nice job with this.
Re: Select a muscle and it provides the exercises to workout the selected muscle
#249Great site. It's a newer/cleaner/simpler version of my go-to site for anything detailed related to exercise: ex-rx.net.
One suggestion: add more of the detail that site has on the other muscles used during a particular exercise. Example is bench press, which is pec-focused but engages lots of other muscles - it might be useful to show the body-diagram highlighting all of those muscles.

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,…
A great niche to target would be assistance for people who have a muscle group they don't use because of long-time postural issues or simply never having learned to use it.
For an issue like this, it doesn't work to simply do an exercise that supposedly works the muscle. Even if the muscle is the limiting link in the lift, if your body isn't using it, it won't get stronger. For example, my mid-upper-back was lax because of typical nerd posture. Even though it limited my squat, years of squatting didn't force those muscles to do anything. I just had a really weak squat that relied on other muscles compensating. Then one day I ran across a suggestion to do bat wings and hold at the top for 20-30 seconds, and I became close friends with some muscles in my back that I barely knew existed.
A web site showing you how to discover each muscle or muscle group in your body (bat wings for deep mid-back, glute bridge for glutes, etc.) would be AMAZING, and I bet people would get referred there all the time from places like r/Fitness where people go for advice.
