anatomy. How many muscle groups can you identify? I coach clients by using 8 movement patterns for programming, but for trivia most gyms say 10–11 major groups while anatomy has about 600 muscles, so it’s definition-based; tag each exercise in your log to its group and you’ll spot imbalances fast. @Casey, what number do you roll with?

My take: I’d lean toward the simplest next step and see if it changes anything this week — if not, you’ve got a clear case to escalate. What would block you from trying that?
