Rotating with a Barbell?

I'm not sure what that would look like.
Can you describe it, or post a video? -
Like a normal shot put rotation, but with a barbell on your back and you pause at the power postion
-
How much weight would you use?
I think it would build good trunk strength and balance. -
Hmmm. Any chance for a video? We all have access to this equipment so if it seems usable it would be simple to implement it.

I do this as a drill. Put it on my back and grip with a snatch grip(at the collars) and just go through the full motion of the throw into the power position.
I usually do 20 to 30 reps at about 5 at a time and do this to make sure I stay down on my left out of the back and through the throw.

We use the barbell all the time, on the shoulders and overhead. We do left foot pivot drills, right foot pivot drills and full movements to the power position, also with the gliders. We also use weighted vests, "Gar Nal granite stone rings, 20lb and 35lb, the throwers where them around their neck, also foot and ankle weights and the VS rotational belt. All ways to increase stress and load to the specific throws motion.
