Standing Barbell Anti-rotation Exercise

I first learned this from Coach Boyle, although he uses a device called the Landmine and the handles that come with it.  Remember that the idea is to avoid rotation in this exercise.  With the weight going back and forth, it will be hard to do.

Stand in your athletic ready position, similar to the golf stance but not with as much hip hinge.  Hold the barbell with 2 hands with the barbell standing at about a 45 degree angle.

Keep your torso still (do I sound like a broken record yet?), and bring the weight as far as you can, maintaining your athletic ready position.

Go Back and forth, starting slow first, then adding speed.

   

This is a tough exercise, believe me, you will feel it.  If you don't have a barbell or want to start slow, use a medicine ball.
