i think your gestures feel really basic, like you could push them further. i dont quite remember you attempting figure phase three all that much where you do the more quicksketch technique. id like to see you attempt it, if your concern is being slow, try to get those exercises down in the time alotted, or give yourself an extra minute but work on that speed. more volume in your studies helps bridge those proportion gaps faster since youre doing lay ins quicker and of course analyze them meticulously after the fact and take notes on things you do in a short span of time since thats the thing your brain immediately goes for

Yh towards the end I realsied I drew her head way too big but since I'm trying to stick to a 1h slot I didn't have enough time to go back and re draw it. Just need to get more of these lay-ins done.

I've been trying to stick to simple gesture drawings like how Brian does his as I feel like my gestures don't really capture the flow of the pose sometimes. My plan was to get the basics down and really simplify the pose and once that was in-grained into me I'd start getting into more advanced quick-sketch like Jeff does.

I'm trying to do atleast a few hours a week of quick-sketch to really help with my drawing speed and as you've said just cranking out more drawings to improve my proportion issues.
