Exercise Library: 150 Curated How-To Guides

IRONSLOG's full exercise library has 873 movements from free-exercise-db, searchable inside the app. This hub links to 150 of them with dedicated how-to pages — step-by-step instructions, muscles worked, common mistakes and sets/reps guidance — chosen for the highest search intent across barbell, dumbbell, machine, cable and bodyweight training.

How were these 150 exercises chosen?

Compound barbell and dumbbell lifts, the major guided machines, and the most commonly searched isolation movements per muscle group — with enough spread across equipment type and experience level to support honest, non-empty muscle/equipment/level filters below. Every one is a real, verified entry from free-exercise-db, not an invented movement.

Where are the other 723 exercises?

They're in the app's exercise library (see exercise library), searchable and filterable by muscle, equipment and level — this hub only links out to the 150 with a dedicated, original how-to page.

What's on each individual exercise page?

An answer-first summary, a table of level/equipment/muscles/category, numbered step-by-step instructions, a photo credited to free-exercise-db, common mistakes, programming guidance (typical sets, reps and frequency), linked variations, and a 3-question FAQ.
