@Walent: Hey thanks for stopping by and confirming that I'm bumbling along the right path dude :).  I appreciate the kind encouragement on the study as well - thanks!

I also couldn't work out what muscles I was seeing on the surface so I again went back to Proko and now I reckon it was the erector spinae that were confusing the heck out of me!

Here's the original reference photo:

Next I'm gonna have a go at inventing a similar pose and pushing it through to a rendered state.
