One move I am finding doing wonders for my back is doing driving fence
posts variant where I move like once of those swiss automations that ring
bells. Start in the end position and then bring the SG back over your head
in preparation to strike. You want to bring it back far enough that you
feel a little pull in your abs but not far enough that you overbalance
your self. 

Then bring it back along the same path to Fence post striking position. 


Repeat. 

The slower you do it, the harder it is. Unfortunately doing it slowly
takes alot of time. 

Another thing you can do is move whichever hand is not at the base of the
handel closer to the base of the handel turning it it into kind of a sword
strike.
