Working out & darts: A warning!

Hi guys i just wanetd to give you an update i hadnt been able to earlier. Its about working out. I started working out again a while ago and all was well, it didnt affect my darts. I then upped the weight and intensity though and i'll be honest..................it destroyed my action. No joke, my form was shot to pieces for a week and it was like i had to re-learn how to throw all over again. Intense tricep and shoulder work is a MASSIVE no, no if you want to progress as a player. It makes sense darts is about muscle memory and any major working out changes the muscle, thus creating a need to re-create it again. Its like starting over each time. I have worked out that players would be much better working on leg, lower back and hip exercises to strengthen these areas as this is where alot of players develop problems.
