Exercises by muscle
20 muscle groups, each with its anatomy, its actual joint action and every exercise that makes it the prime mover.
Upper body — push

A note on how muscles are described here
Every muscle on this site is described by what it does at a joint, because that is what decides which exercises train it. "Inner chest", "lower biceps" and "long head of the quadriceps" are gym shorthand for things that do not exist anatomically, and using them makes it impossible to reason about exercise selection.
The other thing worth saying once: no exercise removes fat from the area it trains. Spot reduction has been tested in controlled studies and does not happen. Training a muscle makes the muscle bigger and stronger; a calorie deficit reduces body fat across the whole body, in an order your genetics decide.
Muscle roles follow standard kinesiology references and are described by joint action rather than by gym convention — see how this site is built. Energy figures are derived from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. Every reference is named and dated on the sources page. General information only — not medical or coaching advice. Load, form and progression should be adjusted to your own experience and any injury history. When in doubt, get coached in person.
