Especially those that have shoulder Problems this is going to have you Shooting your bow better and a pain-free Session and possibly more accuracy here We go okay so when you first AR here I Selfishly wanted for you to coach me Through a warm-up session before I start Shooting my bow just like any workout Just like you know any I want to have active loose shoulders Before I start drawing my bow so give me A few things I can have one of these Living in my bow case what should I be Doing no I'm glad that you said that as Far as active muscles because that's What we think of when we think of a Warm-up the goal is to activate those Muscles and so the number one thing I'm Going to say again because of injuries That happen what I see often is that Rotator cuff we're going to Target the Rotator cuff first so first thing put This in your hand about like this again You can do a little easier like this um Or you can double it up go right there Arms um yep so abandon your palms right There and all you're going to do is just Activate those rotator cuffs EXA exactly So in first engaging those the scapula There and now you're going to externally Rotate so rotate that band outward yeah So if you face this direction a little Bit you can actually see that he is Weaker on this side compared to this
Side as he's externally rotating more on That left side so Stable platform here again engage that Hold that a little bit hold that a Little bit hold that a bit firing me up For sure hold that a little bit and then Rotate Externally common errors that I see Right here is when you so go ahead and Do that again when you fatigue you'll Start to bring those shoulders up and Shrug keep those shoulders away from the Ears okay so that's that's one of the Number one exercises that I would say Com going keep a exactly so 15 20 Repetitions you know nice quick motions Will be good um the next one you don't Want to fatigue yourself too much but You definitely want to activate those Muscles and keep them warm the next one I call we call them shoulder dislocators So again a good Mobility workout you're Going to engage that posterior deltoid By um horizontally abducting like this And then you're going to rotate up and Back PVC I like to do it with the band Because what it does is it engages that Rotator cuff so you're going to start Here you can go up and you can kind of Do a few repetitions and then you can Work into um further uh ranges okay try That so I want you to choke up a little Bit right here and maybe let's just Start with just the one here sure so
Again put a little tension on that right There yeah Good if I had a guess I would go ahead Sorry no go ahead I just said if I had To guess I would say the common bow Hunter does not do any type of War up Before they shoot their bow no yeah You're um absolutely right and I um Would like to say that I do it 100% but I'm probably at fault as well but I do Have one of these that lives in my case For this very reason um I will say the Times that I have warmed up and the Times that I do warm up when I go to Salt Lake when I go to East there and I Warm up with the Bands then you start Shooting it those first few shots just Feel so much better so I would Definitely warm up um these exercises External rotation these banded shoulder Dislocators those are two how much does One of these cost oh I think on my Website they're a couple bucks or so Couple bucks that's the cheapest thing You can find cheapest thing you can Invest in yourself investing in your Health investing in your shoulders um Like I said I got these on my my website I have a few other exercises that I Include in a warm-up um on my YouTube Channel so you can check that out but For the most part these exercises heck Yeah Boulder shoulders thanks so
