Very nice, I was looking to build something similar. Definitely needs a fullscreen mode with timer and video. Plus a way to configure step reps/timer :D
I second steps/reps. I'd also add the reps done in the workout history in the profile.

#52This is fantastic! I'll be using this in the AM.

#53Is there an open database for muscles / muscle groups with relationships to exercises?

#54Pretty cool. Would love a site like this except for flexibility. Bookmarked.

#55What a great webapp, so simple and good. Love that it is straight to the point, choose what you have to work with, what you want to work on and boom there is the exercises with an added film - go work out. Toying with the idea of putting up a screen with this in my home gym so friends and family easily can get a program for when they come to workout.

www.musclewiki.com
Edit: I just saw that this is the source for workout.lol

#57Very nice! What can be added is to group exercises in beginner, medium and advanced and add warmup and stretching routines.
Thanks! The beginner / intermediate / advanced selection is available on the screen where you select the muscles. Adding warm-ups and stretching rountines is on my list :)
Just make sure it doesn't end up to advanced and convoluted (maybe an advanced mode/easy mode?). Really nice work :)

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but there have been a couple discussions here about musclewiki in the past.

#59I do feel like most beginner/intermediate lifters with gym access would be better served just picking a standard full-body workout routine (e.g. GZCLP) and sticking to it. Figuring out which muscle groups you'd like to be targeting with specialized exercises is not something you should be doing as a novice.

#60Great app from the UX/UI perspective. The progression from saving in the browser and only requiring an account later is very nice as well. Perhaps the only thing missing is a start over button.
As for exercise selection, it returns a lot of niche moves and exotic variants. Which makes it interesting but probably not a good fit for someone who would be most likely to use this app, ie. isn't an intermediate+ body builder already. Occasionally the recommendations are just bad (crunches).
Certainly a welcome addition for someone looking for variety though.
