Home workouts for heavy poundage bows

[BSO Dave]

Yeah my high country bows both have dual cams. And my mathews is solo cam do you recommend workout out and shooting everyday? As far as form goes is high shoulder and elbow good?

You are probably going to get many different replies to this question, and all of them may be correct to some extent.

With that said, I recommend shooting your actual bow every day or at least a few days a week to maintain muscle memory and form, and of course practice.... However, if you are trying to build strength up to shoot heavier poundage, I would not recommend shooting that heavier poundage every day. I would work your way up to your goal draw weight slowly, over weeks to months...

In other words, do the workouts to increase strength every other day or 3 days per week... Shoot your bow at a manageable poundage every day or at least every other day on the off days from your strength training... Slowly, and incrementally, increase your draw weight as your overall strength increases...

If you are drawing 70lbs. comfortably right now, you should have no problem building up to your goal within several weeks if you strength train regularly... Just curious... Wy are you trying to shoot 80lbs?

Maybe I am a little biased, but consistently doing pull-ups will increase quite a few of the surrounding muscles, and your back.

I would also suggest to not neglect core. So much power is generated from the core, more than most realize.
