Steve Huston does teach a robo bean style method to beginners. Bridgman also teaches something similar, just in his own style. What that exercise does is teach you to understand the relationship of the torso to the pelvis.
Understanding how the torso and pelvis twist and bend and stretch and pinch is a lot easier to learn with the bean then with a complex figure, that's the point. Soon you'll be adding on to that bean, and your figures are going to feel 3 dimensional and solid.

Where did the bean method originate from? I recall proko was taught under watts. Was that where it came from or did proko create the method himself?
Maybe I'm stuck in a mentality there's only one right way to do it, but how common is proko's bean method? Like it's different from how I've glanced up on vilppu or steve huston and while they don't explicitly bring up the bean method, do they have anything in common with it? It's confusing me which ideas to follow and which ideas to discord.
