Directory for exercises

Does anyone know of a site or directory where I can literally type in the name of an exercise and find out what it is?

I know some will say “right here,” but the Tmag site is so broad and complex it will merely bring up programs that might use a certain exercise, which doesn’t explain to me what it is, how to perform it, and what it works. For examlple, I still don’t know what good mornings are, or how to distinguish an upright row from a high pull.

Maybe it is because terminology differs from place to place (some call chin-ups pull-ups and vice versa). Does anyone know of a simple site that lists exercises and how to perform them or of some type of encyclopedia of weight exercises?

This may or may not be what you are looking for. You can search by exercises or muscles. Hope this helps.
