I remember a similar exercise you posted years ago but it was done in a side plank position rather than lying on a bench. That was a great exercise. Looking forward to trying this one in the gym

A good exercise, but in this position you are strengthening the bowarm in the wrong vertical direction. The vertical stabilization happens always by adding tension to your backside, because you are pulling and pushing outside. The strength must be build when we think of a standing positition to the directions up, back and towards the target. Your training position has benefits for the directions up, front and towards the target. So we need another exercise for pushing to the backside of our body.

Why is it very important to have the body be at around 45 degrees, and not in-line? I would have thought that it would be better to be in-line, since we're in-line when shooting. Second, you say we can use concept of overreaching, and so should I try to use more weight than my draw weight on my bow?

What weight should be used for this exercise. If I‘m pulling a 60lb bow, do I need a 60lb weight or something different?

BTW, circle with Dumbell or kettlebell is dangerous, it should be done from the full Plank cross position, easier to do, could be done by everyone, also with the past trauma recovery.

It's a modification from the Turkish Getup, used in all sports, especially in martial arts, wrestling and climbing.. 😊
