Working on the bench to improve your best is more dangerous to the body during growth spurts than archery.
Forget the macho crap. If you are an archer, concentrate on putting the arrow in the tiniest little spot you can imagine.
If you want to contact me directon my e-mail I can and will put you in touch with a few of the absolute very best shooters there are. I will bet they will all give you the same advice.
Keep the weight down and shoot it accurately.
