GTG training is more about improving neurological connections than it is about necessarily increasing muscle mass / strength outside of that particular movement. That being said if you currently do nothing for that area then it is certainly better than that (though you have those swings in at the end of your workouts sometimes so I don't know what your current training looks like).
If that's what you wanna do for the next 30 days then all power to you and go ahead, but strength is a use it or lose it type of thing, so if you want to keep whatever you build, you need a plan for what you're going to do after those 30 days too. Some regular back extensions, or glute ham raises or something would be great, alongside big compound movements like deadlift and squat too.

Deadlift and squats make my lower back quite sore at the moment, otherwise I'd be doing deadlift/squat/hip thrusters.
My main sport is Taekwondo, and have built up pretty strong abs, quads, hip flexors. Calisthenics/gymnastic strength type work has built up arms, chest, lats, but lower back seems to be a weak point at the moment.
I've done GTG for chinups/pullups to increase reps and strength endurance, so would be breaking up the swings into probably 4 sets of 50 reps spread throughout the day.
This would be on top of 6-8 hours of fairly intense TKD training, couple of bike rides/runs, and random bits of calisthenics dotted throughout the week.

I'm aiming to strengthen my posterior chain / lower back, because I'm getting back pain, most likely because of being imbalanced.
Regular, ultra minimalist 'grease the groove' type training seems to keep me motivated, so planning to do 200 kettlebell swings @ 24kg a day for the next 30 days.
Thats 144 tonnes lifted/swung in a month.
Any particular tips, other than not to do it?
Was thinking about doing it with 32kg, but that felt too much to maintain over 30 days. (I often do 3 sets of 25-30 swings at 32kg as a gym workout finisher)
