This is awesome, thank you so much.

THE PAAAIIIN. just moved to 40 pounds. and the onley two words i can think of is THE PAAAIIIN. HOLY *****. thanks for this vid its ganno help my carrer thanks

I learned about SPT from a video of NUSensei once. Now, you've explained in more details. It really helps. Although I'm into recreational/trad archery. I really appreciate your work for the archey community.

I cant even begin to tell you guys how important SPT's are. I was able to increase my bow draw weight a total of 2 pounds in just 3 weeks. The strength gains from SPT's is incredible.

Thank you for another invaluable lesson. You are a born instructor! (And thank you to your wife!)

Great advice. At 77 I'm not as strong as I used to be and I'm having trouble with my 45lb recurve that used to be easy for me. I will start this today and try to build back up again. After about 30 shots I'm getting tired and have to stop or my form gets ratty. Hope this builds me back up. Thanks for the advice.

Great video Jake , I never used this video to get over TP . But it helped a lot .Keeps me at anchor for much longer now in my shot process .

Great video as usual👍🏻

Thank you so much for your help

Great video, thank you.

Congrats on the 20k subscribers 🏹🍻

Needed this thanks mate

Thx for the helpful vid!

Great vid. Nice to follow along with. Great job 😁👌

This is terrific. Thanks.

Long shot great archery new friend

Great video. Informative, genuine, and helpful.

cool. I'm definitely going to try this. thanks!

With all the political craziness going on I took up barebow archery back when Covid locked us down. Your videos have been a huge help. No matter how stressed the news gets, archery allows me to clear everything out and have a period of peace. This video is very helpful due to me learning to shoot left handed due to surgery not allowing me to ever draw a bow right handed again. My gym workouts have changed to build strength, but this accomplishes a lot more than just fitness. Thanks for the video.

This video popped up in my recommended and im glad it did! I cant wait to try this!

Really great video, it reminds me of the strength training, I used to do, when I was in the Military. Thank you Jake!

i really like this exercise

I like this exercise this is good jake

Keep pushing out the workout videos! They're very useful!

Love it. This is great for days when I'm too busy to commit an hour or 2 at the range.

Excellent content Jake, this is the first time I’ve ever heard about this type of training. I really think this will help my indoor game. Thanks!

Great vid Jake .Very useful and very well explained. .Been out for a few years like yourself. Will make it with your help .Many thanks .Your book on bow setup and the other stuff is a great help..Thanks again Buddy ..

You said you were doing the holding version of SPT. Does this mean there are other types, and will you make a videos on them?

Great video! I was interestred in the torture for some time already, as autumn came in. Best regards and thanks to your wife!

Thanks Jake, I just tried this today with you. Those last 2 were tough! Great work out!

Blowgun, haha! I always say anything with a projectile involved is a fun time:) I do enjoy the content you're putting out as well.

Jake, I really enjoyed doing the workout with you, and Thank you ! Now, about the blowgun...:)

I really enjoyed following along with this! On your prior recommendation (previous vids and discord) I had already been doing a 20 minute SPT but being able to follow along with you here made it so much more fun and interesting to where this session felt like it was over before I knew it. If you ever feel up to the torture in the future an SPT series of a few more different durations would be very cool. I know you told everyone everything they needed to know here to do it on their own, and I am not sure if you would ever want to put yourself through that, but it would be fun if you did!

Nice was wondering which exercise to do. Will go for it with EMS equipment to see how it goes. Thanks for all the vids

I stagnated at my current level as a competent archery. I’m not happy at my lack of progress. I started a “soft” SPT about a month ago. I do +6 “holds” before bed with a set of stretch bands thats 40lb equivalent weight. Today, my bow feels EASY. 😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I’m happy but still not content with my current ability. I’m looking forward to my goal 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Jake, quite new to archery and never even heard of SPT. I appreciated that you explained what it is, why it is important, and how to critique myself while doing it. I only have a compound bow but I feel that I should be able to adapt your teaching quite easily to my bow. Again, thank you, and I hope that you are back to using your bow often and not just for these teaching videos. Blessings.

Thanks so much Jake, really have enjoyed all your videos. Had not picked up my bow in over a decade and was initially finding 6 dozen arrows a struggle near the end to pull through the clicker on a 36lb bow. Per your other video, yes I am currently over-bowed but I will be doing these exercises to build back up and it was kind of both honest and encouraging seeing you struggle a bit after your absence from regular archery. I am sure you would say you are over-bowed at the moment but like you mentioned, a week or so of doing these exercises and you would be back into shape - maybe worth linking this video to your over-bowed one?

Been struggling gaining draw weight until I found it! Thanks Jake and your wife! If there is any injury recovering excercise video can be posted that would be great! I am suffering some should problem that can't keep me shooting daily.

This is certainly one of the best specific exercises for recurve archers. As you point out it is not only about strengthening but also getting the feel of proper form and developing the muscles memory required for that form. That said you are in great shape compared to many here-(me) so I would recommend cutting the 15 sec X15 minutes down quite a bit to start and even begin with rubber bands. You want low stress to start and do reps until you feel the burn- and not pulling tendons and creating problems for out of shape rotator cuff muscles. Many of us are "overbowed" to begin with for starting out too fast.. work into it. I use rubber bands and lots of reps to begin with. Also be very very careful to NOT dry fire your bow especially when you get tired-- again rubber doesn't care...

Hi Jake Thank you for this awesome video and all your series. I’ve learned a trend out amount of archery from you when it comes to Olympic and Barebow. Your knowledge and experience is worth more than a pound of gold. My question is, would it behoove us to set up our complete setup with stabs, sight and do the SPTs? I do aiming drills with my compound and my instructor, Michael Braden, had me start out with 20sec holding drills and then let down. Now I’m shooting better with higher scores, but was wondering the same for Olympic recurve and setup. Thank you so much for helping with us shooters that are passionate about our sport. We are fortunate to have someone on YT that’s willing to share his knowledge and experience. Thank you again, Jake. 🙏🏽🎯

I just tried this exercise with my little 30 lb bow that I use for SCA target archery. I can feel the difference!!

;stopwatch app name please How many times per week should i do these workouts

Thanks for the tip on the app. Can use that for other things as well. I’m shooting less than 40 arrows most days so I have to laugh when you said you do this after 400 arrows.

Hey Jake - I love the idea of this, and having just started looking at shooting again after 5 years off, I want to build my strength up again. Question tho: I shoot recurve, so should I put all the stabilisation and sight on my bow so that it is the same weight as when I'll be shooting it, or does that not matter with this exercise, and this is just to build shoulder/back muscle strength and form?

Can you make a video about target panic and how to fix it?

There are a lot of theories out there, but no one fits-everyone-fixes-everything method. However, whatever you do, do not listen to those old farts at the range who tell you to just blank bale in order to get rid of it. Removing the trigger of your "fears" will not help you confront them, that's psychology 101 and I can't believe this idea hasn't died out on its own yet. However, if your symptoms are really severe, blank baling may serve as a complimentary exercise to help you maintain your form - but it's not a part of the "cure"in and of itself. I don't always agree with Chris Hill on everything, but this video here is pretty good: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3p7uJishanIiKg.html

Hi! I just got into archery, I shoot with compound bow,I know it is different, but I'm sure it is helps a lot to build muscle strength to reach higher draw weight, in short period of time Awesome training!!

Hi Jake thanks for the next great video i was doing this excercise with astra trainer so i can pull the bow using my elbow and my back muscles.

@JakeKaminskiArchery

not a bad idea, but I would still hold on to the string to strengthen your grip and engrain your anchor.

I just went up in weight and was worried about not being able to make it to a range much this month with holidays and COVID closures. This gives me a way to avoid losing the gains I worked for, although I hate it.

pyramid shooting is also a good exercise: shoot 6 arrows, hold the 1st one for X seconds, hold the 2nd for X + Y, the 3rd for X +2Y then go backwards. eg: 3 sec, 6 sec, 9 sec, 9 sec, 6 sec, 3 sec

This video is great and especially useful with all lockdown restrictions in the UK. I never thought to train this way and using a mirror to watch your form makes a lot of sense. I followed along with you and it got tough near the end so will definitely keep this up! Thank you Jake.

Thank you for this training vid. I just started archery and I've bought my own gear, the club training bow was about 20lb draw weight and I decided to buy 24lb. After about 30mins of using my own bow, my left arm started shaking quite a lot. I didn't know what decent exercises I could do to help improve my muscles and form other than doing weight training. And I wasn't sure if it was safe or okay for the bow to be drawing for this purpose.

how was the state of the left hand at the time of release, I look forward to seeing your video 🙏🙏👍

It makes you realise how remarkable it is that Lara Croft could shoot all those arrows without any training at all :)

Jake you need to add an affiliate link for the blow gun! 😂

Have you ever set up a compound bow like a bare bow without a site?

What about adding back tension at end too hit psychological trigger

In the compound bow, is the similar training with SPT, if u want to get stronger physical?

This is a great video. Just what I was looking for. Fantastic. Thank you. A question, do you ever switch sides to help build up the muscles on the other side of your body ? Meaning , do you ever do the same exercise drawing the bow with your left hand ?

@JakeKaminskiArchery

In a perfect world you should. Although many people either have limited time and or energy to devote to getting better on the one side, so any time devoted to balance reduces time spent training skills of the dominant hand. I should do a video on this more in the future.

Hi Jake, thank you so much for the really valuable videos. Could you please give a link to the phone app that you are using in this video? Thanks so much!

I started on working on Korean Bow archery and we’re doing our warm-ups and our stretches so and then I got my summering. I never got to shoot an arrow. I don’t know what this man’s problem was with me, but something anyways, I don’t even know where the summary comes in at because I’ve never seen you use one yet and I was wondering what is a thumb ring for thank you

I just started doing this very exercise and I notice that I can’t get past set seven without my bow arm shaking and my elbow starts to hurt.

I like to think putting more weight on the riser during training is a similar idea - strength training of bow arm, what do you think.

I think its ok, personally when I am shooting arrows I want to hone my skills as accurately and consistently as possible to engrain the feeling. Maybe at blank bale is best.

Hello Jake your channel has been a great resource for archers all over the world. I really want to thank you for your service to the sport. I couldn't shoot for about 5 months due to the lockdown. Now I have been regularly shooting for about 4 months around 300 arrows a day but I am facing an issue. Earlier during draw and anchor I could feel the tension in my scapula but now I feel it in my shoulder and upper traps and after a while it really starts hurting. I have kind of lost a mind muscle connection with my scapula. I tried practicing with a stretch band too but it has not been helpful. Please suggest a way to develop that mind muscle connection with the scapula . I hope it will be useful for other archers as well. I shoot an Olympic style recurve.

When I had bad lower back problems my physiotherapist compared the musculoskeletal system to a ships rigging with masts (skeleton) under tension from the ropes ( muscles) and that any exercise on one side needed to be balanced on the other side of the symmetry. With a very one 'sided' activity like archery shouldn't we be repeating everything left (or right) handed to avoid long term problems?

In a perfect world, yes. problem is, more time you spend one the one side you like the better you get. So if you only have X amount of time to do something, would you rather get better or stay balanced? Tough choice when so many compete or love seeing scores.
