sounds like your talking about back tension to release your release. You dont use lower muscles. you want to push your bow hand out like your saying stop. and pulling back w/ your release hand and squeezing your back shoulder muscles together. When it goes off. If it surprised you. You did it correctly. If not you punched the release. also make sure when your bow goes off. it propells forward towards the target. and dont grip hard on the bow so you wont torque it. Good luck!!
