Instead of going for whole bodies straight away, practice on the parts you're weakest at, like the face and the hands. Draw parts of the body to learn the anatomy and how muscles work together. Also try to start off with drawing aline of action so you know how the body is going to flow.
And if anything, mark out your hights for people, that way you don't get out of proportion parts. A regular guy is usually 7 heads high, a hero 8 heads high and anti heroes are 10 heads high.
I've read a lot of book, I have tons and a common thing with a lot of them is they expect you to already know the basic anatomy stuff. So it's all well and good to have this book, but if it doesn't show the basics, you really aren't going to learn anything.
You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

this might be on the polykarbon site (one of my favorites <3) but make your legs more or less four heads tall and the torso two more. (while you mull this over, bend your legs back and notice how closely your feet come to your butt, then bend forward and see how closely your chin fits your knees. Admit it, it's true)
