Terms of use

This site is run by FreeWeightDojo, 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. By using it you accept these terms. If you do not, please stop using it.

What this site is

A free reference showing how strength movements are performed and which muscles they work. It is general information published for anyone who happens to read it. It is not personal training, not a programme written for you, and not a substitute for coaching.

Training is your risk to take

Lifting weights can injure you. Whether any movement here is appropriate for you depends on your health, your history and your experience, none of which we know anything about.

• Speak to a doctor before starting or changing how you train, particularly if you are pregnant, recovering from injury or illness, or have a condition affecting your heart, joints, back or blood pressure.
• Stop if something hurts. Pain that persists is a question for a doctor or a physiotherapist.
• You decide what to attempt and what to load. You are responsible for that decision and for training somewhere safe, with equipment in good order.

Nothing on this site is medical advice, and reading it does not create any professional or duty-of-care relationship between us.

Accuracy

We work to keep the movement descriptions and muscle attributions correct, and we correct what we find to be wrong. We do not promise the site is complete, current or error-free. If you spot a mistake, tell us.

What you may do with the material

Read it, use it in your own training, and link to it. Links are welcome and need no permission.

You may not, without our written permission:

• copy, download in bulk, scrape, mirror or republish the demonstration clips, the still images, or the written entries;
• use any of it to build or train a dataset, model or competing library;
• frame or embed the clips elsewhere, or present the material as your own.

The demonstration animations are licensed to us by a third-party studio. They are not ours to give away, and the licence does not pass to you by viewing them. The written entries, the design and the name belong to FreeWeightDojo.

Availability

The site is provided as it is. We do not guarantee it will be available, uninterrupted or free of faults, and we may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it at any time.

Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any injury, loss or damage arising from your use of this site or from performing any movement described on it, including any indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

If you use the site in the course of a business, we are not liable for loss of profit, business, contracts or anticipated savings.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and the version published here is the one that applies.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not remove the protection of any mandatory law of the country you live in.
