i hear that..i've been doing HIT training for over two months now...and gained a minimum of 15 lbs on everylift i've done so far...love it. and it's made shooting those heavier bows seem like cake...135 dumbbell rows make 65lb longbows seem like cake! my hands dont like them much though :sbrug:

try using a shrug wrap, and make sure you isolate your back and get your lats and shoulder into it.... yeah those bent over rows (chainsaw starters0 work wonders, i use them to train for my 80lb bow:)

With limited space in the garage and not a lot of time to go to the gym I have been using my Total Gym and getting a pretty good workout with it.
You know us old guys need to go lite to avoid injury... :D

gg,

Your routine is more like the circut training that is making its way into the gyms. As the people that are trying to get into shape are of an older generation the circut type training is making a new path.

The old body building style seems to die off or most just quit working out as they age I know I did and alot of the guys that I worked out with have also. A more lower poundage and increase reps with few breaks between while working on a tageted area seem to help with endurance and strength it just doesn't produce the larger muscle mass that the younger guys want.

Fitness just like a diet needs to part of everyones everyday activity.
I am stating to use the Total Gym that I have as a warm up before beginning a practice session with my bow. As the winter gets colder though it will have to be one or the other because of traveling to an indoor range to shoot.

tuffshot, to some extent that is right, but the routines I do also occassionally incorporate max lift days. The idea is to mix things up as much as possible and to make it as aerobically taxing as possible. I am often laid out on the floor after a work out.
