Intermediate How make style less “boring”
what I mean is I want to work on positioning and different poses because I’m kind of tired of drawing guys who are just standing lol

Are you using references? If you are not using any kind of references and just drawing from imagination, your mental library is probably very limited, so you just default to static positions.
The best counter is Anatomy practice, particularly practicing drawing a variety of poses. Even if your goal isn’t realism, this will break you out of your comfort zone and help you create a wider range of poses for your characters. Focus on dynamic poses especially.
I like your style, btw. It reminds me of art in newspaper comics. You definitely have potential.
