My goal for the next week (until Wednesday next week) is to improve my head position and body stability during the shot process. Currently, my head position often changes when I transition from pre-draw to full draw.
So, my goal for today is to shoot around 80 arrows with around 70 % of the attempts with a good head position, meaning I turn my head by 80 degrees to the left, look at the target, and keep it straight with minimal tilt and I don't move my head towards the string at full draw but move my hand all the way to my head. One indicator to see if I moved my head is to see if the string smacks my lips during release.
In order to achieve a stable body position, I will focus before the shot on a good foot position, interlocked knees, slight outward tension on both feet, around 15 degrees forward leaning of the upper body, with slight tension on the abs, and relaxed shoulders.
Review:
I was able to exceed my goal, I had a good head position for about 90% of my shots and overall the stability was better today. I also tried to shoot without an arm guard and it was no problem :). I also noticed that my release got better, with the "elbow-squeeze" technique.
Current training effort this week:
Monday - ~100 arrow session, 25 pushups, 40 crunches, shoulder mobility training
Tuesday - Running session to Monte Calvo (400 m up, around 6 km forth & back) in 01:01:29, stretching session of the legs and shoulders
Wednesday - 80 arrows (65 from 20m, 15 for warm-up from 5 & 7 m), 16 minutes SPT 1, 25 pushups, 40 crunches

1. Around 500 arrows (180/500)
2. ~ 2 hours of endurance training (1/2)
3. 180 minutes stretching (50/180)
