Figured I could get a bit of a start on learning the muscle anatomy a bit sooner than I originally planned. I gotta give credit to MasterPaintingNow since I used his Muscle Male Concept pictures for this. Finding one of a bodybuilder male is kind of tough. I tried to combine his methods with the 8-head proportions. I think I might've went overboard with the thickness. Plus the profile and back body seems a bit unbalanced. It was a bit tough to combine the two, honestly.
Hopefully this will help me.

I would watch out for symmetry and balance, which is why the last two look off.
Your widths are off because your hips are too narrow, or the real perpetrator (as I often see) is that the actual shoulders are too wide. http://www.foundmyself.com/BogStand.....keleton-/88167 The bone and joint are really close to the ribs, and the muscle then balloons off that point.
The shoulder should be aligned with the heel and head, which is where I think you got mislead, because the straight line you have is tilted.

Thanks for the help!
I see what you mean. I was kind of trying something when I drew those last two bodies, so that might explain it. I believe it might be the hips that could be the problem. Looking at his torso, I might have drawn it way too thin compared to his upper body. I could be wrong there though. As for the line, that was after I did the figure. I was checking on it by doing that line to see the distance between it, the upper back, butt, and calves (like Loomis), but as soon as I found my mistake, erasing the body would've only resulted into a huge mess. Will try not to make that same mistake twice.
