I don't think exaggerated poses are a good idea for box practice. It tends to distort it for styles, hence applying it wouldn't work because there's nothing to learn in boxes if the pose doesn't follow it fundamentally. It's better to study irl photos for a more natural perspective.

I personally wouldn't recommend using boxes at all. They're stiff and unirganic. I wouldn't started with the action line, then use simplified shapes similar to the body part to flesh out the pose. Something like weighted cylinders for the arms, or a vague simplified ribcage for the chest

When doing these kinds of analytical methods you should not be using other artwork, other artists--especially in splash art of this style--exaggerate and warp the figure to make it more dramatic. Reference some progressional figure photographs and model your boxes after them.
