Are you planning on filling out those body parts that aren't currently clickable? I know you can't really lift weight for wrists, for example, but working on their mobility is fairly important, especially for those of us attached to a keyboard.

You can lift weights for wrists. Though that's a bit like saying "lift weights for elbows".

The actual muscles are in the forearms. https://musclewiki.org/Forearms

Depends how strict you're trying to be...

Yes, the extensor indicis and pollicis longus muscles are "part of the forearm" but most people would consider those "wrists". While FPL and FDP would be "forearm". I'd argue pronator quadratus is also "wrists" even though it is also "part of the forearm".

Note: Wikipedia for names, I only wish I knew my muscles that well. But I understand what nataliam511 meant by "wrists".

True. Anyway, my link shows what you can do for your "wrists" with weights.
