If OP has lurked HN before, chances are they’ve seen how HN can respond to other sites. Even if it wasn’t necessary, can understand why they might think it was.
And not that all responses aren’t well intended, but they can sometimes come across a bit tough, especially if someone wasn’t looking for feedback.

Apparently they work at Brave. HN likes to tear into Brave whenever it comes up, so I can see how they might have that impression.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually should have this solved soon. I have a backlog of videos to edit that will populate the missing pages.

+1. This is a highly functional, distraction-free site.

Extra/complimentary suggestion to that: when the mouse cursor hovers over a muscle group further to the 'red patch', have a pop-up small text box with name and brief description of the specific red-ed part. It would be fun/educating for the regular folk (like me, who doesn't know each muscle group and/or their names) to just 'browse' the human body and see the name of that muscle group and what it does.
Edit: on the parts that are not a muscle group (e.g. face, "love-handles", feer/hands, 'throat', etc.) maybe paint them grey so they are visibly distinguishable from the 'muscle groups'. I was veri curious to see if the 'love-handles' region has any use apart storing fat.

There are plenty of muscles there, they just are not shown on the simplified diagram. Transverse abdominus and obliques.
That guidance wasn't needed, really. It's refreshingly free of trendy design, and straightforward to use. And other things, like the ads not being in the way of the content. I'm sure you've got a list you're working on, but what's there looks great.
One minor suggestion...there are some paths that lead you to a "muscle not found" page, like this: https://musclewiki.com/Barbell/Female/Calves/. Some way of preventing landing there in the first place would probably be more intuitive. Like a popped hint when you hover over a calf if Female/Barbell is pre-selected. Or some semi-transparent overlay to suggest Calves can't be selected, etc.
