If your goal is to improve rotational power, stop chasing exercises that LOOK rotational and start loading rotation.
The lunge with a medicine ball twist isn’t a bad exercise. It just isn’t doing what most people think it’s doing.

Those are two very different things.
That’s why my athletes spend far more time with exercises that actually load the trunk and hips through rotation.
Stop trying to look rotational.
Start loading rotation.
