What are the top 20 or 30 Skeletal muscles or so in order of weight or volume in the average human body? I can't find a list anywhere that states such precisely.
I am guessing to start.
1 Glutes
2 Quads
3 Lats
4 Traps
Not sure where hamstrings falls in things or pecs. Then spinal erectors, and so forth.
Just curious as i feel this would be nice to know.

"Muscle group" I suppose otherwise you break spinal erectors into several muscles, quads into several muscles, and it complicates things.
If someone has data on overall largest muscles broken down more precisely that would be interesting too such as rectus femoris versus other part of quad and so on.MyMuscles.com

Wtf man, you're chalked full of it on these forums aren't you?
FOR EVERYONE WHO IS UNDER THIS MISCONCEPTION:
It has been repeatedly stated on this site and at all major universities recently, that the LATISSIMUS DORSI is the largest muscle in the human body.
