Default Arrow Weight question

I understand that you should shoot 5 grains per pound of draw weight. So if you are shooting 70lbs, you should be shooting 350 grains.

My question is...is that 350 grain arrow PLUS the 100 grain for the broad for a total weight of 450? OR 350 grains INCLUDING the broad head (250 for the arrow and 100 for the broad head)?

Thanks if anyone can help me, I'm still trying to learn as much as possible!

The 350 is the total weight including the tip. You do not need that much. I shoot a 319 grain arrow. I should use 360.

This comig from a guy that posted this a couple of days ago?
Is there a certain technique to increase your draw weight? I did 1 turn every week but I think this is too much too fast. I have to bump it down.

I'm sorry for asking so much questions but I'm new.
Not recommended to shoot under 5 grans per pound. Yes, that's finished arrow weight including nock, feather and tip.

Wait I forget what it is called but I think I was talking about 5 grains per something.
