The problem I saw with that drawing was random overlaps in musculature, random bulges (snowman-like design, no force shown, just bulges of mass) and some form oversimplification (arm extensor group merged with ulna).

Trust me, you don't need to study bodybuilders right now, you should learn individual muscles and muscle groups and apply that knowledge by drawing from a quality realistic reference to get a good sense of how muscles work and how they look while doing so. Inflating them afterwards is a piece of cake.

Deane Keller suggests learning muscles using joints, e.g. if you know elbow joint is a hinge and can only move two ways, there can only be two muscle groups.

The effort is there, but maybe 60% of it goes to waste when you try to put muscles on an already messed up skeleton. You don't want to spend your entire career guessing how long a leg is, do you?
