Get some bumbells and start some arm curls, butterflies, and even do presses with them. That'll build up your wrists, forearms, biceps, deltoids, and pecks... where all recoil forces travel through.
I think you might be on to something here. I need to make it back to the gym again. Other parts of my body is starting to reveal it's age as well. But I have been pretty good at them curls lately:
Already have the Hogue grips with the soft rubber, but it almost feels like they could make it feel worse. It's like they grab the hand and allow for extra efficient recoil transfer. I've been toying with the idea of switching to some slicker grips that could allow the grip to slide a little in the hand. Don't know if that makes any sense.
Not to keen on porting. I tried my buddy's ported 460XVR at full power and though the recoil didn't feel as bad as my .454, the shockwave and noise traveling backwards made it feel like someone lit off a stick of dynamite in front of my nose.
Even though I shoot pretty stout loads,(Haven't chronoed them), through my G29/G20 they never feel as harsh as the SRH.
I think I'll start with some strengthening and maybe using gloves and see where that takes me.
Cheers!
It'd be interesting to do something like this:
