I'll buy it from a professional, life-long archer, sure. But I think that the majority of bow users do not have Special Exercises.

As I understand it, the kind of bowmen likely to be firing 150 lbs. medieval warbows (a distinct minority of all people who fought or hunted with bows throughout history) trained hard from an early age in order to achieve the required arm strength. Skeletons of English longbowmen show quite scary 'deformities' caused by their unusually large arm and chest muscles.
