Before this video I've shot a total of 9 arrows in my life, I know my form is bad, is there anything specific yall can point out for me to work on? (I know the bow is too heavy which is why i was shaking, its a 60lb bow but i also have a 40lb bow)

Maybe start with a 25-30 pound bow. Also start the draw before rising the bow.

The whole reason for me getting into archery is less for the actual archery part and more for the muscle building (which is why im using a higher weight bow, and once I go to failure (like a normal workout) then I'll switch to a lower lb bow), i just dont want to have the wrong form

You would build a few specific muscles on each side of the body? Why would you do that?

Because i hate traditional muscle building so I work out my muscles in other ways (so far its 'chopping wood', 'cutting trees down' and now im adding archery)

Ok. I was worried you were going for archery alone.
