📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot

You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:

Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.

Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.

Anterior Deltoid

Anterior fibers of the deltoid muscle. Primary shoulder flexor and assists with horizontal flexion. Deltoid has seven anatomical segments based on intramuscular tendon distribution.
