Whither Strength

Where does strength for shooting come from?

Dr. Hal Wissel says it comes from the rhythm of
your down & up leg motion. So do most shooting
coaches. No matter what they call it leg drive is
of primo importance.

Leg drive lets you keep your upper body relaxed.
Coach Gary Groharing of the Strictly Shooting
camps in the metro Chicago area calls it 'soft on top.'

The kinetic chain of events in getting that power up
thru the legs into the shot is also critical. Everything
needs to go down together and everything needs to
come up together. The better both halves work
together the smoother and more accurate the shot is.

So shooting strength is much more than arm and
shoulder strength. Leg strength is also a must, and
you have to have a solid mid-section. Core strength
is what you need to transfer your leg power through
to the upper body and to the ball.

Does that mean I recommend running out and doing
Pilates every day? That might not be a bad idea, but
it's not very convenient. You need something you
can do every day, at home or in a hotel room without
any bulky or expensive equipment.

My friend Matt Furey has the perfect answer for you.
Matt has developed an intense daily bodyweight
program for building leg, core, and upper body strength.
And it does this while integrating mind and body and
