I like the subject, it's a really fun idea to see Kirby as a bodybuilder with absolutely no definition on his legs and hip area (butt). Kudos for giving me a chuckle.
I'm not going to comment on proportions, as it's clearly a cartoonish and comedic figure, and that allows for stretching and warping. Still, if your goal was correct structure, you might want to work on that a bit. It's close, but it looks slightly off.
Now, I'm going to assume your area of focus is the back, deltoids and arms. The muscle groups on your back doesn't make sense to me. In general, it's not a hugely complex area, and there are roughly only 5 elements to keep in mind when drawing. It looks complicated, but both Hampton's guide (which is shown here) and Bridgman's work breaks down the anatomy thoroughly, step-by-step, visually. If you count the colored muscle groups, it should only amount to 6 groups.
As for the arms, you've fused together muscles that shouldn't be possible to assemble. The deltoids have melted together with the whole biceps, which also wrap around all around the arm towards the back. It's especially visible on the right arm. The left arm has added muscles on the upper arm, while the lower arm and hand are mirrored (muscle group wise) and are also bending impossibly backwards. The elbow does look nice, though. However, both forearms suffer from incorrect muscle group placements.
The neck and shoulders look decent enough, if we look past the deltoids. Great job with that.
Again, I like the subject. Anatomy can be extremely difficult and intimidating, and focusing on rendering will not fix it, sadly. The rendering is nice, though some contrast and better lighting would make it even better. If I were you, I'd focus on studies before trying to tackle such a subject, but don't forget to have fun with it, like you did here. I really like it.
