You did a good job with those muscle studies earlier, but i think i know what is missing in this practice. Purpose.
The purpose of studying the human figure is to learn how to construct that figure.
And in order to achieve that, you dont need to "copy" but "analyze"
First, you need to stablish a structure (like you did in the last pic of your post) then, with that structure in mind you must figure out how to construct the model.
Im not really good with words, so i did a little picture as example:
(Not like my figures are perfect, haha but i think that they can be useful to explain this)

If you take a look at the figures i did based on the models on the right, you will notice that the 3 figures are constructed the same way, all three share the same structure.
That way, it becomes infinitely easier to study any pose and as you can see, it doesnt matter if the model doesnt have anything to do with the type of body you are working on.
In short, study the structure of the human body, just trying to replicate what you see is almost useless.
I hope you will find something useful in all of this. :)
