250 pounder attempt
RyanY:
Cool. Well this is all I've been thinking about for the past couple days so I'm really excited. Hopefully when I get home I can finish up that bow I was making and get started on something heavier that what I usually pull.
heavybow:
The heavier the bow more compression factor increaseses. Infact the world record for bench is 715 raw. And the record for a bench useing a special suit shirt is 1105 it may be a slight higher. Due to a special suit.
RyanY:
I see. So I'll just have to use something like that when I try. ;D
heavybow:
Ryan you don't know me I'm very very strong I can bench press 500# raw. I shoulder press 325 for reps seated and behined the neck. I really think 200# bow will defeat me in all onestly. It takes a special huge strong human beyond my strength. So a 250# bow you would need a human well over 6 feet tall and weight 350 very very very strong pound for pound. There's a handfull of archers pulling there bodyweight as jaro, Steve Stratton, Simon standly the smaller the person the stronger they are pound for pound. Than a person who weights 350#. Cheers Marlon
RyanY:
Alright alright. Well then I think for me this will turn into a test to see how much I can muster. I trust your word Marlon and I think if anything I'd just like to work up to the heaviest bow I can without injury. What is the heaviest bow you've pulled? I saw your youtube video of you pulling that 120# bow really easily.
