I have weak arms
Is it accurate that you have to have some muscles to be a shooter?
I'm not talking about really muscular but to have some good arms.

Can you pick up a basketball? If you can then you have all the muscles you need.I answered a similiar question in another post.
Sure it won't hurt to work out and become stronger...but if you lack the proper knowledge on how to create the proper amount of momentum in your shooting motion...then it's piontless.
Create momentum..(shooting motion)...to move a object..(the basketball)..to a destination..(inside the rim)...whether it's launching a rocket or shooting a basketball...its all about momentum...THE PROPER SHOOTING FORM ENSURES THE BEST WAY TO CREATE MOMENTUM AND LOCATE THE DESTINATION!

The strength of your arms have very little to do with your shooting a basketball. The power comes from your legs. If you want to strengthen your legs, you can do squats, jump rope, or just start shooting from a short distance and jump as high as you can on each shot. If you repeat this over a couple of weeks, I promise you that your legs will be stronger. Your shooting touch comes from your fingers, or more importantly your fingertips. Work on your legs and you will see improvement getting the ball over the rim. Good luck and work hard to meet your goals!

Man get out and put some shots up. Strengthen those arms and you won't have to worry. But legs also come in to play when shooting a j. But yea when u start shooting a lot those weak arms will go away.
