# Color-coded muscle diagram over each exercise

A fitness format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/fitness/color-coded-muscle-diagram-over-each-exercise

Overlay highlighted anatomy graphics next to each exercise so the targeted muscle is visible. It worked for 5 accounts, with a median of 17x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Slideshow, Voiceover, Talking head.

## Why it works

The diagram shows what each exercise targets without explanation. It also makes the post look like a saveable cheat sheet.

## How to make it

1. Make a color-coded muscle graphic for the cover slide or opening
2. Show the highlighted muscle on every exercise slide or clip
3. Add sets, reps, or swaps

## Hook formula

[Muscle group] workout, here's what each move hits

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
