I started working out without a trainer a few months ago as well as doing rehab for a nasty shoulder tear. Today I see the benefit of targeting precise muscles and muscle groups, unlike other beginners in this thread.

One feature request I'd add to the pipeline is to filter exercises available by Gym. Planet Fitness is ironically super unfriendly to beginners and limited in what they offer. People could add the exercises available at their gym and grow the database. Conversely, this could help beginner home gymmers plan what machines / weights to buy to maximize their routine.

Thanks for sharing your experience I’m glad to hear you're finding value in understanding muscle targeting.

Bcs It's true that most beginners tend to think in terms of "full body" or "upper body" rather than doing a structured split let's say. They don’t usually say "I want to train my posterior deltoids and lats" lol

I love the idea of filtering exercises by gym type or gym but can be hard to handle for "private" gyms and will also need some kind of moderation... Could work for large branded gyms though.
