Now working on something "American"

I still don't see how restarting it will make it better at this point but:
I feel like I am making the same mistakes.

you've said it yourself. if you make the same mistakes without acknowledging or understanding them, restarting won't make it better.
fortunately the pope of dope has made some good points:
notice how the torso is larger than the head. look carefully. both stallone and schwarzenegger are over three heads wide, shoulder to shoulder.
tip: the hand starts just after the crotch ends, about midway down the thigh.
another tip: the distance from the hip to the knee is about the same length as the torso.
