Weight Lifting for Riding Fitness

[the Ferret]

Sounds like you have a good thing going, Stichill, good for you! We are the same age. Speaking from experience I must say, be careful with the overhead exercises, you don’t want a rotator cuff injury, trust me. I’m three weeks post-op from shoulder surgery and it’s a brutal recovery as many will attest to.

My right shoulder surgery recovery was brutal. It was 6 months before I could draw a hunting weight bow and a year before it felt normal.

Not over head exercises for me, but a life time of bow shooting. The equivalent of bench presses.

Just be sure and keep it up once you start lol
