This is something I was thinking about doing a few years ago. The serious fitness space is dying to be taken away from TNation and other operators that are basically still at forum or webcam + chat levels of tech adoption.
Something like Starting Strength with this level of tech production starts to look like a really powerful fitness tool. I think that's why TrainHeroic is doing pretty well as an app (and now your contribution!)
Great job.
Is 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…

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?
Bookmarked it!
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…
Abdominals - muscle not found :(

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 beca…
