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 overlap nudges similar-kit options up the list. But we include different-equipment alternatives too so you're never stuck.
