Hey,

Just use the regular "capture geometry" but change options from "regions" to "metaballs", then you can tweek your weights from geometry than it is outside metaballs range and isn't being deformed well using "paint capture layer".

Thats exactly what "capture geomtry" does. It creates DeformMuscle inside Geometry node you are going to deform.

This is the workflow:

"Capture Geometry" tool > Choose "Metaball" option instead "Regions" in dropdown menu > Select Geometry to deform (click Right Button ) > Select Muscles to use as deformers (click Right Button ) > done

After that you should use "Paint Capture Layer" tool to correct weights.
