Same target muscles
We rank alternatives highest when their primary muscles exactly match. i.e: same target muscle, different movement.
Full muscle overlap
Secondary muscles and synergists are scored too, keeping the overall movement pattern close to the original lift.
Equipment considered
Equipment overlap nudges similar-kit options up the list. But we include different-equipment alternatives too so you're never stuck.
