Weightlifting and bowling
« on: April 20, 2004, 07:16:01 PM »
Well I have been lifting weights for a little over a month now. I have been just because I want to look better, and not neccessarily get real buff (not that I really can, with my body type), just get more cut, more of a physique. Anyways, I have been afraid ever since I have started that it might mess my bowling up over time. Yes, I know it will make me stronger and can make me start to throw the ball harder without really knowing it. But does anyone really know of any other problems weightlifting can mess up your bowling game? Are there any ways to prevent them? I really dont want to affect my game. Thank you.

pjd300,

 good point as someone whose knees have seen better days. it's all about the legs in bowling.

the loss in pushaway and deep knee bend forced me to learn to bowl differently when I came back to the game. My main objective is my legs and lower back areas.
