What exercises are the for increasing your strength in order to increase the amount of draw weight you can pull back on your bow. I was told just push-ups but is there anything more that can be done?

From my archery days, you're primarily looking at upper arm and shoulder. Push-ups can help with that, but are pretty hard on your joints. Shoulders: http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/rehabilitation-exercises/free-weights-exercises/single-arm-row Triceps: http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/rehabilitation-exercises/free-weights-exercises/jawbreaker Biceps: http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/rehabilitation-exercises/free-weights-exercises/bicep-curl I'd be careful to intersperse these with actual draws as well, and to draw with both arms so that you don't end up off balanced. I use free weights, but I've always been leery of highly tailored workouts because unless you know exactly what you're doing you can isolate out important supporting groups. | |||
