These are all really nice updates! I was wondering, how long do take for your gestures? I'm asking because I almost want to say that they might be "too detailed" for gestures.
By that I mean that you seem to try to indicate anatomy and muscles while I think gestures should focus more on the flow of the pose and the broad shapes. So the whole pose will be simplified and could almost look abstract in a sense. This should however lead to more lively and pushed gestures. Basically, it's all about controlled looseness and energy.
There's not just one way to do it obviously, but here's an example from Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing book (which might be worth checking out) to show a bit what I mean.
With that said, you're still doing good and you clearly have knowledge of anatomy, so that's good! And that lesson you've learned of starting over if things don't quite work is also a good one. Over time, as you get more experience, you won't have to do that as much anymore. Unfortunately it might still happen from time to time though
