Hey omg tysm!!!! Absolutely no worries! I don't have anything for understanding/drawing musculature specifically, and a lot of what I had learnt was self-taught through studying references a lot. I find, though, tutorials on utilizing 'hard vs soft' edges in painting/rendering were rather helpful, and very relevant to rendering muscles since they require quite a lot of edge control. I found this was also the point in my art journey where I felt really stuck/felt like I was at a plateau myself, so when I finally got a grasp on hard/soft edges, I could almost feel myself 'level up' as an artist haha. There's probably a million different resources out there just about this, so I won't bore you with what would essentially be a drop in the ocean of how-tos, so this is a super quick run down of what I'm referencing.

Here is an example using colour, and only focusing on one small area (the face/cheek) that I did in about 5 minutes.
