I'm trying to find a very basic muscle anatomy chart that shows only the major muscle groups (the "mirror muscles").
Obviously, I've searched on Google and the ones I've seen so far are too detailed for my purposes.
Front:
Traps
Delts
Lats
Pecs
Abs
Hip Flexors
Quads
TA
Back:
Traps
Rear Delts
Lats
Rhomboids
Erectors
Glutes
Hams
Calves
Needs to have mainstream appeal, so it can't look too "hardcore" or science-oriented. Anyone happen to have one like this saved on their hard drive?
this site is great. .

That is a good site. Shame they don't have an overall body view, though.

Saw both of those, guys.
The bodybuilder pic will intimidate housewives. And they are too detailed. I need the types of charts that you see posted on machines at the gym.
No scientific terms ("hamstrings" vs biceps femoris), no tendons/muscle heads shown, just large areas of the body shaded to correspond to basic muscle groups.
Real basic. 1st grade anatomy.

Curious as to why you are requesting this?
I'm a trainer and I want to put together a basic guide for beginners to lifting.

this is one of the best ones ive seen in a long time, put together by one of bb.com's own! of course, it features a person with a developed musculature though? if a housewife wants to learn anatomy shes gunna learn it best when the muscles are as big as possible so theyre easiest to pick out.
Or, if you really want them to remember each muscle, i will send you pics of myself with arrows. Then they'll remember...
kidding.

that pdf is freakin awesome!
How could you forget about our BB.com's very own [url=http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.htm]exercises page[/url]? Just take a screenshot. It's not really a traditional muscle diagram but it's fairly obvious and it'd suit your purpose I think.

I didn't forget about it. You want me to show Nasser and Ebony Venus to Mrs. Jones who wants to "drop 10 lbs. and tone her hips"?
I do appreciate the effort, guys. Don't get me wrong.

Good point. How about [url=http://images.google.com/images?q=muscle+diagram&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi]this[/url]?
Not insulting you. There's plenty of choices on the first page, find whatever level of detail you need there. Obviously the forum can't help you here.
