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.
