I think there are a lot of muscles at work during the draw cycle, but the upper right side of the back seems to do most of the work - at least for me. I think you might be over-doing the part about rearward tension. You want to get in the "valley" of the let off, and then find the back edge of the valley - where you can feel the draw weight starting to increase just a little.

From this position, a surprise release will cause your release hand to come back across your ear - with you not even being aware of it most of the time. Staying in the middle of the valley can occasionally put you in a position where you are creeping forward and getting close to an involuntary let-down.

Keep doing it if it's working for you. I'm not really aware of my hand moving back, although it apparently moves far enough to brush my ear. For me, the exaggerated hand movement, like I see in some shooters,tends to make it hard to keep the sight pin on the target as the arrow is flying through the air. The sight pin wants to go right no matter what I do. The more subtle follow through allows me to keep the pin steady.
