Exercise library
Exercise cue library
Performance education — not medical advice. Stop if you have sharp pain, dizziness, chest pain, or unexplained symptoms.
Short, searchable cue pages for common gym patterns. Use them with the muscle group guides and Progressive overload for lifters — not as medical rehab protocols.
| How to use this library | Do | Don’t |
|---|---|---|
| Selection | Pick 1–2 patterns per movement family you can progress | Collect random exercises without a weekly plan |
| Progression | Log load × reps at a repeatable RPE | Chase form breakdown PRs |
| Pain | Shorten range or switch implement; seek care if persistent | Push through sharp joint pain |

Frequently asked questions
Is this a complete exercise encyclopedia?
No. It is a first-batch cue library tied to Muslex pillars — enough to support selection decisions, not every variation ever named.
Do these pages replace coaching?
No. They are educational checklists for generally healthy adults.
How should I pick exercises?
Choose patterns you can load and recover from, then progress. See muscle group pages for selection context.
