	2006/02/03, 02:10 AM We can definitely help you come up with a workout, however you need to fill in a bunch of gaps.... age, gender, level of experience, weight, height, current workouts(try to be fairly specific),etc...things like that.... I would generally go for big lifts to train the whole body (for general strength/power, etc)and then add elements that are important to bowlers(specitivity to your sport)(rotational exercises, rotator cuffs, additional lower back work,etc)...Also as bowlers and some other athletes tend to use one side more than the other....you need to train the lesser used side in the weight room with additional unilateral work to maintain balance in your muscles....

Go to "FT profile and inbox" and fill out your profile, only takes a few minutes. Good luck and welcome to FT! -------------- Seize the day!
