Do you have a sketchbook or some drawings we could see? I could give better advice if I know where your current skills are at. Generally people skip to anatomy when they still need to memorize proportions and basic forms of the body. If you can draw a figure from various angels without reference and come out with correct proportions THEN worry about anatomy. Also bones are the most important to understand not muscles like a lot of people seem to think. Take a look at Proko's anatomy videos too.

Michael Hampton's book Figure Drawing: Design and Invention is a good starter book. Its anatomy-lite basically. It will take your through the basic anatomical structures one at a time, which is how you should be doing it. Learn bones and then where the muscles attach to the bones. Without knowledge of the bones though your muscles will be wrong no matter what.
