This is really neat. It stands an easy-to-understand reference among many poorly-written fitness editorials and programs, many of which will require novices to lookup each exercise and assume that the new source is demonstrating them properly.

Your exercise selection and order also looked wise, beginning with compound movements and ending with more isolated movements.

Suggestions: 1)I didn't see wide grip pull-ups or chin-ups after clicking back and biceps. Why not?

2) Would be nice to see some form of cleans displayed.

3) If you add a program section, you may want to check out Fitloop.co [1] for inspiration. It does a good job of presenting a sound bodyweight program with explanations.

1) Agreed. Right now until I can find someone who knows how to dev. I'm trying to keep the page to 4 movements per page (to helping any loading issues). It'll come for sure though, we also have it filmed.

2) Cleans IMO is quite a complex movement. I'm looking to apply an "advanced" button on the homepage sometime soon that will enable people to select more advanced movments like this (and deadlifts, but I feel they were too important not to include) 3) For sure!

Thanks for the feedback. This has been in my mind as a site for such a long time, I'm glad to actually have people seeing it.
