I saw this archery strength test being discussed in my Discord—it came from a video by Michael Peart where he explains Coach Kim’s benchmark: 7 rep minimum of a brutal holding test. Each rep is 7 seconds at full draw, 2 seconds at setup, then back to full draw. National team archers are expected to complete it without failure.
I haven’t trained seriously in a while… but I cranked my bow to 49 lbs and gave it a go. I wasn’t surprised by the outcome, Old Man Strength kept me going!
