I added a resources section to the OP. Feel free to share resources that are already freely available (i.e. YouTube videos, NOT a Google Drive full of PDFs of books).

AFAIK there isn't one. Tho something that could serve the same purpose would be Daz3d, which last time I checked had a pretty nice free component which allowed you to pose pre-made bodies and render them with some rudimentary lighting. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a simple anatomical reference.

Can anyone redline this bad boy for me?? For whatever reason the perspective on this body is a disaster and I'm having a hard time diagnosing the problem

It's the furthest leg. :v

Not nearly as bad as you might think though, it's just a bit of an odd pose for a leg sticking that far back to be both planted firmly and facing more towards the viewer than the nearest leg, and the hip isn't quite turned far enough to comfortably have a leg at that angle.

Spoiler: redlines (click to show/hide)

I hope you can make sense of the scribbles. Also, the hips seem a wee bit exaggerated, but that might just be your style. :P

Resurrecting this to post some resources!

https://alexhays.com/loomis/
The collected works of Andrew Loomis. Covers a range of topics, but especially good for learning your way around the human body.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wsmufautdeemd1/%5BMichael_Hampton%5D_Figure_Drawing_Design_and_Inven%28Bookos.org%29.pdf?dl=0
An alternative human construction guide, a bit more advanced than the Loomis books. Focuses especially on visual anatomy: bones, muscle groups, and the like.

https://ia801309.us.archive.org/12/items/PerspectiveMadeEasy/Norling%20-%20Perspective%20Made%20Easy.pdf
An old introduction to drawing things with three-dimensionality. Slow-paced, but plenty of tricks later on for the practiced artist.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh-LKm9cgqk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFjvNF1U4eM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMalQC4KTZI
A video series on constructing the head via the Reilly abstraction. Good followup for the Loomis head exercises.

https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/art/Drawing/Ken_Hultgren-The_Art_of_Animal_Drawing.pdf
A former animator for Disney documents the construction of various animals, with an eye to caricature and motion.
