Exercise library

439 exercises, sorted properly

Every movement in Gym Journal, filed by the muscle it trains and the equipment it needs, and classified compound or isolation so your analytics stay meaningful. Browse by what you want to train, or by what your gym actually has.

By muscle

Browse by muscle group

Seventeen muscle groups, plus conditioning work. Each page covers what the muscle does, roughly how much work it wants in a week, and every exercise in the library that trains it.

By equipment

Browse by equipment

What you can train with a barbell, a pair of dumbbells, a cable stack, or nothing at all — useful when the rack is taken, or when the gym is your living room.
