Well i have the Zack Petrock Form of anatomy tutorial , where he shows in Zbrush how each muscle is placed. And even though i know some anatomy, i decidede to create my own skeleton model and place each muscle to enhance my knowledge of anatomy.Also this is a great exercise and the best way to learn anatomy.
