How to read this ranking

This page lists only exercises whose primary muscle field names middle back. Tagged-inventory counts on the muscle hub can be higher because secondary tags count too. Derived ranks are labeled as our analysis; raw source counts live on each exercise record.

Where the upstream file omits a field, the exercise page says so, we do not estimate missing values. See the corrections process to report a mismatch.

Source: Free Exercise DB (CC0). Ranking computed at render from the PlainExercise database (2026-07-10).

Every figure on PlainExercise is compiled from public exercise-science and biomechanics references, no number is typed in by an editor. Muscle step-count ranks are computed from live SQL on the exercise table, no editor typed the order.
