This book, "Drawing People" by Barbara Bradley I found very helpful. Life drawing didn't really 'click' for me until I read through it. It's not about drawing dynamic poses or cool angles, but just about drawing people in regular every day poses. I think there should be a PDF online somewhere.
Figure drawing of course helps a ton. I think a good exercise is to do a few neutral long form poses, maybe 10-15 minutes each, and then afterwards try to draw similar poses from imagination. You can frankenstein some of the poses you drew from reference together (like combining the top half and bottom half of two different poses), or try drawing one of those poses but maybe rotated or from a different angle, etc. That way, you get a feel for what it's like to invent a pose from imagination, but you still have some sort of base to build from.
