The anatomy is pretty alright, the pose is just stiff and a little unnatural for the action. Go and lift up something heavy like that; how does your body look? What kind of motion do you see/feel from it? How does the weight affect your arms? Then think of the action itself - what would the body look like after repeating the motion a few times?

You don't have to exaggerate the pose like Tom's here, but it gives a good idea of how the body sits before making a striking action.

always start a drawing with a line of action, especially when you get to practicing exaggerated styles. clear poses and silhouettes are super important.
