These are really important exercises... I have had problems with my shoulders due to excessive bench-pressing etc. Now I have been working on with shoulder movement and supporting muscles of shoulders. I'll put these shown exercises to my daily routine!
This is a high quality video. Excellent biomechanics. Most folks will find weaknesses in their shoulder girdles by doing these, so do not be daunted by there difficulty. If done as directed strength will quickly build. I applaud the title Pre Hab - very apt. Thank you for your efforts.
Just tried this. Tougher than it looks. I was shaky - guess my shoulder muscles are not used to be worked this way. Great video! Clear instruction, solid demonstration, good cameraman. :)
As a new archer, have been practicing with my bow off and on for the last two weeks, every other day or every 3 days going to range, 20-30 shots a day. Just started to have pain in my bow arm side shoulder. Not serious pain but irritation. Going to give these exercises a go for a good while before picking up the bow again. Just tried only a few minutes of what you were doing and I felt some relief in the shoulder and could definitely feel muscles tighten up that I didnt think were even there. Great video. This will be part of my regular workout routine throughout the year once I get my shoulder back into shape. Subscribed, thumbs up.
How did it work out for you? Has the pain gone away by doing these exercises? I started archery not too long ago as well and also feel a pulling pain in my bow arm after a while, it doesn't hurt that bad but deff gets worse if I continue with it.
Greate workout för archers, Keep it up. Foud out that you can reach the smaller mucels higher if you first do the push up stans like you show and then in an angel like 40 degrees.
Haven't shot a bow in 15 years. I injured both shoulders in separate incidents from falling down hard. I've had surgery on both shoulders now and they don't dislocate any more when I hold them the wrong way. Loose shoulder joints suck. Gunna have to do alot of this to get prepared. Used to shoot recurve, but I think I'll get a compound bow to compensate for my shoulders being weakened. Not saying compound is for the weak, oh wait, I am saying that. Oh well.
Dislocated and fractured humorous back in 92. Wasn't a huge problem till I hit 33.. Just found your demo while researching strength training for archery.. Bought a bow 5 years ago.. had trouble with it then.. It's a long bow w/ 60 pound limbs.. Just started back up with a set of 40 pound limbs. I can shoot, but with awful form. Gonna try these exercises till next weekend and see if I can improve my form and hopefully relieve some pain in my shoulder.. Thanks for the demonstration.
I've been having back and shoulder pains for a long time, and I'm only sixteen. My father (who is a paramedic) thought I was starting to show signs of scoliosis, because of my posture, pain, etc. I started doing these exercises and I almost immediately started noticing how my posture was improved. As I kept progressing, I started seeing the shoulder muscles. I can now finally get back to archery, sword fighting and all the other sports I love. Thank you so so SO much for this xx
Well done video. This is exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully, I will have my bow arm shoulder pain-free and strong again in no time. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
Kenton, you motivate me and THAT'S a hard thing to do. I'm ex Army. Never quit. Never give up. But in 1997 and 18 wheeler ran a red light and guess who was in his sights? Left 9 ribs broke in 22 places, punctured lungs, torn diaphragm, collapsed both lungs, lacerated spleen, broken clavicle, shredded left hand tendons, and the list goes on. One back surgery and they want to do another. 4 vertebrae in my neck fused together. So as you might imagine, this 185 lb lean Army machine is now a 240 lb weakling. I had to drop my bow from 70lb down to 55 and it's still a struggle to pull is back. I had to relearn to play guitar from my butchered left hand. And I can recondition myself and bow hunt again. I just replaced the engine in my daughters car when they wanted to take it to some one. I said NO, I need to do this. and my friend.I NEED to do this. You are NOT responsible for my well being. This is all on me. You are just my inspiration. A soldier never gives up. Thank you, for relighting that fire. I needed that.
This is seriously helpful stuff. Thx alot. Don't know who u r but appreciate ur telling it like it is. Some of those muscle bound dudes seem so imbalanced it hurts. Chronic bad habit shoving my shoulders to the sky, need all the help I can get. My right shoulder wants to create problems...not having it. Asshats & their weapons that blow up in ur hands can go fly #Prehab #BowOverGunAnyday
Not long started archery, recurve, 40lbs draw, done these exercises, and ow ow ow ow but also wow wow wow wow after a while, well worth doing, cheers for the info :-)
Wow, some great stuff here, minimal kit too. I've been really struggling to get fit for my target archery, possibly due to getting old. I'm aware that there are specific exercises other than just pulling my bow and these look good.
Thanks for great video!!! Im just starting in archery and also conscious about my computer desk hump and was looking for more posture exercises. Keep up the good work handsome!
I lift full body 2x a week and am curious if I should add this to the end of my workouts and split them 50/50 or do each workout? I don't want to interfere with my recovery from the weights and already do barbell rows, deadlifts, pullups, rotator cuff in/out, and band pull aparts. Maybe I should ditch rotator cuffs and band pull aparts and add in this complex? My right shoulder is always hurting but not injured so most likely my shoulders are rotated forward and rolling over my tendon. Any thoughts are appreciated. I missed target archery this year as I try to rehab this but definitely need to be ready for hunting.
yay for things i can do with little/no equipment. the bow i have now is a tiny bit heavy so i want to develop better stability etc, even if i dont ever draw anything heavier
Fantastic video, coming from someone who's recovering from a 6 month shoulder injury. There isn't enough talk about posture and form these days, keep the videos coming!
My right shoulder has been bug'n me for awhile. I do work out, and one day after a good workout a buddy invited me to do some bow shooting. It was a good day until the next day or second day that my right shoulder was on fire, I was limited to certain movements. What cud have happened. ..need ur expert opinion. Thanks
Kenton got back to me and straightened out my sign up. This is a great video, and his training is a winner for those who love the chase. Thanks Kenton. Haden
The letter exercises are tough to actually figure out how to get your body to do them, but once you do, you can really feel the effect. Same with the scap pushups. I haven't yet done the workouts that require things other than the human body, but plan on getting stuff for them soon. Thanks for the video, it has really helped increase my strength and endurance!
Excellent video!!! Just what I'd been looking for re archery prehabilitation. Do you happen to have a sheet with diagrams on, as you would get with a weight training programme? That would be a great aide memoire to make sure you have not missed anything while exercising. Thanks
Great vid. This would be much more valuable as a teaching vid if you took your shirts off. This would give a visual of the muscles engaging , relying less on your verbal descriptions, just a thought.
Movement Reps
Pinch-T (thumbs out, pinch, shoulder down, up) 8-10 (1-3 sets)
Pinch Y's (pinch arms lift forward) 8-10 (1-3 sets)
Pinch -L (pinch, 90, up) 8-10 (1-3 sets)
Pinch W (pinch, L, rotate at elbow) 8-10 (1-3 sets)
Med-Ball Bounces (arm elevated 90/90) 20-25
Mini-band wall climb 10
Scap Retractor Plank 25
Scap Retractor Hanging (10-15_

willing to get my pullups, this is a perfect exercise without any weights. Great video, really!
Great video and routine. Thanks
Thank you so so very much. Perfectly explained.
Great video! 👍🏼🏹 Thanks.

How is the shoulder feeling Isaac? Are these exercises helping?
Just got a band to do the wall crawl exercise. The shoulder is feeling more stable, but I guess the pain will never rally go away.
Don't look like much . I started this exercise three weeks ago and my shoulder pain went away ! Thanks !
Saw this and had a go, ouch to start, started recurve archery 4 months ago, now drawing 34lb on a 70" bow, these are going to help, cheers :-)
Awesome exercise routines, I am just getting into archery, have back and shoulder problems, and this routine feels good. Thank-you...

Holy shit man, good job. I have no idea who you are, but I'm proud of you.
Good one man. Hope it is working out for you. Keep it up!

Nice one bud, great set of exercises - well explained and shown. Top job, thanks!

Great exercises for archery and thanks for sharing...!
A good dumbbell lateral raise work as well right?
Thanks for great video!!! Im just starting in archery and also conscious about my computer desk hump and was looking for more posture exercises. Keep up the good work handsome!
What do recommend for someone with a small tear in the labrum and a partial thickness rotator cuff tear. Not bad enough for surgery but still is sore.
Thank you, sir. Very helpful. Much appreciated!
Gday T.T Hunt. What if I already have Rotator cuff injuries. I can only draw a few times and suffer shoulder pain for a day or two.
Crossbow
Good lord that's definitely effective.

Dude! This is great! Thanks Train To Hunt!
Wow, thanks pal.
Feeling it :)
Damn I dont know if its as simple as that, but fuck I hear you!
Kenton, where is a source for the 'ball on the wall'. Tore rt rotator badly, but I can't find a ball that bounces--hekp me please.
*Domo Arigato Mr Roboto!*
yay for things i can do with little/no equipment. the bow i have now is a tiny bit heavy so i want to develop better stability etc, even if i dont ever draw anything heavier
Well done. Good solid information.
Maybe we can Train To Hunt competition in Hunstville AL sometime.
