the over(head? hand?) wrap drill would translate very well too, for a shoulder wrap. I don't know about the behind the head block, I sword and board so it's just a tuck, but drilling more "tuck wrap tuck wrap tuck wrap" with a second sword and board fighter is a pretty good idea.
I've been throwing pell shots now for about 2 weeks, and after the first few days I switched from an old double core I had (don't worry, it already failed) to a rattan sword. Night and day. I can only throw about half as many shots before I feel like I will risk injure to continue, but those 50 or so shots (It's more time, like 15 minutes, switching hands, doing whatever I can to prolong it) leave me feeling a burn for sure, it's pretty amazing.
