so treat your muscles as individual items

Exactly ! Since you're using green stuff, make little "balls" of putty for each muscle, and apply it separatly.
Personaly, with the experience, I often work on the figs in two stages:
body corrections (shoulders, belly hair)
arms and legs
and optionnaly, the hands to conclude.
When I make the arms for example, I put little amounts of putty for each main muscle and apply it on the fig one by one, with a rough first sculpting effort, mainly with the metal tools (xacto and "mini spoon" tool).
Then, I do the finishing work, polishing the sculpting to make a good overall aspect. There you have to use the rubber tools (round one : muscles hollows, straight one : muscle surfaces).
You're on the good way, the evolution of your work is visible between the first attempts and now.
