Yeomanbowman can draw 155# with proper, fluid form. He's one of a few people in the world who can do that. Last I heard you were hoping to work your way up to half of that? ;D ;D ;D

Come on JD! He wont be happy if he pops a rivett here and there. I know how that feals!!! :o Pain is never fun. If I could find an easier way of drawing a bow of heavy weight I sure would go for it.

I'm just giving you a hard time DT. Look at Jeremy's post on his 155# bow. The video there shows his form and it's very similar to Glennan's. He also has a long history of weight lifting so he knows how to take care of his joints. I'm not sure he could even pull a 155# bow without proper form.

Jeremy thats the same device that mark used to break the record 200#. What i used is pulling two bows and pulled them together also had a 290# made pull that with all my strength it does work. and alot of weight training going real heavy bent over rows,one hand rows, heavy shoulders front press, behind the neck press, heavy triceps excercise so your holding arm does not calaspe.alot of heavy curls so develop more pulling power. the device that you made is very well you can adapt any poundage with the spings pulling it for reps thats the way to do it. Well done marlon ;D

Marlon,
Thanks for the exercises. Have you maxed out with a bow lately? You were up to 180# weren't you?
