Why it works

The hidden damage becomes visible and personal, so the audience's own excuse or pain point feels urgent. The anatomy cover also makes the post look authoritative.

Hook formula[Excuse or pain], here's what it's doing inside your [body part]

How to make it

  1. 1Cover with the x-ray or 3D tissue graphic
  2. 2Name the viewer's excuse or pain point
  3. 3Give the exercises that address it

What’s working in fitness this week

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.
