You need to know 26 muscles for the Level 2 Anatomy and Physiology Exam and 50 for the Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology Exam. That is quite a lot of information to learn, especially if you think you need to know 5 things or each muscle:
the location,
the origin,
the insertion,
the joints crossed,
the joint action created during concentric contraction
That could be as much as 250 pieces of information that you’d need to learn just about muscles, within the Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology Exam.
If you attempt to learn this without a system, there will be chaos and your brain will struggle to “file” the information correctly.
Here at Parallel Coaching, we use a 4 step process to simplify the learning of each muscle…

Scheduling time to do the revision and remember the muscles of the body is the most important part. Splitting up the muscles into small chunks gives your brain time to assimilate everything you have learned.

These 4 steps will make it easier to remember the muscles for your Level 3 anatomy and physiology exam
1. Get a good Clear Picture of the muscle.
You need a clear image of the muscle that you are learning. I have grabbed this one from Google. However, this is covered in detail inside our Revision Bootcamp, teaching you everything you need to know about the muscles.

2. Work out the Origin and Insertions in YOUR WORDS
The origin is the fixed point, and the insertion is the point that moves. For peripheral muscles, the origin is the attachment that is closest to the heart. (However, for core and torso muscles this is not always the case)
3. Check Your Notes to Confirm
Use our revision bootcamps, to check that you have learned the correct information, and to get the official terminology of that muscles attachments.
4. Memorize the Picture
Look at the image for a while and commit it to memory. Allow yourself time to really look at the image, all the while thinking about the origin and insertion in your words.
BONUS TIP: it can also help to physically touch that muscle on your body so you can feel where the muscle originates and inserts.
