exrx.net is such a good resource. Thanks for boosting it.

If I were really focused on hypertrophy, I think I'd use exrx.net more. The site does an amazing job detailing ~41 muscles and exercises to activate those muscles.

For me, I will not be competing in body building competitions (Never say never!). I mostly just want to be able to lift a kid, piece of furniture, etc. without getting hurt. I'm not too particular if I'm working my "gastrocnemius"[1] or "soleus"[2]. I'm okay with working out my "calves" and calling it a day. For better and worse, I've condensed the Long Haul Fitness database to focus on 21 simpler muscle groups that are more approachable for gym mortals.

I'm working on an exercise database and a strength training app.

Two years ago I tore my meniscus and had to go through physical therapy. The experience was eye-opening! Before PT, I thought I was relatively fit because I wasn't overweight, walked a bit, and went to yoga 1-2 times a week. At PT, the therapists basically told me, "You tore your meniscus because you're weak." I had just turned 40. I noticed that I could tweak my back if I sneezed wrong. My mental model of myself hadn't caught up with the stressors of aging that were set upon me. I had never been much into weight lifting before, but I needed to update the way I was taking care of myself.

I didn't know many strength training exercises. Like any good engineer, I started to build a database. It's free and open source:

https://github.com/longhaul-fitness/exercises

I needed a way to track my workouts, so I started to build an app. Over time the app grew beyond tracking my workouts to planning them too.

The app isn't for sale yet; I'm just looking for testers now. Sign up at the first link and try it out for free. Let me know what you think if you want to have a hand shaping the app that's worked for me for two years and counting. I love talking about strength training. Email welcome!
