The problem with a heavy bow for building muscle is it can also build bad habits and form.

Look up how to do face pulls. It is probably the one exercise that will really help and create better form.
thanks

I have to agree with a heavier bow.
I diagree with form getting worse. Form might be worse with heavier bow only because you most likely will not be able to come to full draw. Not a problem. But after shooting the heavier bow you stretch out and form will naturally get better and probably increase alil in draw length.

I disagree with it also, the purpose is to work up to a heavier bow, so regardless of what you do to build up the muscles, you are still going to have to shoot the bow at some point.

One arm rows...with a static hold.  Also hold a db (weight varies)out straight just like your bow.. now take another dumbell and simulate drawing your bow string. Star from the bottom up draw/ olympic style/then Korean style. Both sides!!

They say strengthening ur core makes you stronger every where, dont see why this won`t help sum in both  making a solid stance an  in draw strength especially if you practice drawing standing on a Boz or fus ball(   :confused:   sorry not sure how to spell it) It would force you to use only the right muscles. Its a little out of the box but i think it would help. I just think drawing the bow is the major key with a little help from other stuff
