I'm starting OT school this summer and I am hoping for some advice on learning kinesiology. Any books or youtube videos to review so that I am better at learning about which muscles control which actions?
Best books/youtube videos/resources to learn kinesiology and anatomy?

Before you buy any books, I would try to contact any current students at your program and see what books they've used, or find out what books are required by your professors.
Anatomy:
I've read through a good chuck of Moore and that's what we use the most. Netter has additional helpful photos. We use Grant's Atlas in anatomy lab for dissection (to look at the photos/diagrams), but I've never opened my copy at home so I can't comment on how helpful it is. Rohen is also great because it shows you cadaver photos. I don't use the coloring book because I learn better by drawing my own photos. I've also never used Gray's Anatomy but my professor references photos in her slides.
Moore: Clinically Oriented Anatomy
Netter: Atlas of Human Anatomy
Netter's Anatomy Coloring Book
Grant's Atlas of Anatomy
Gray's Anatomy for Students
Rohen: A Photographic Atlas
Intro to Kinesiology. This is my first kinesiology class so I have no idea if there are better books out there, but they are easy enough to read.
Levangie and Norkin: Joint Structure and Function
Neumann: Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System
