Bowling Benefits on the Bicep

Bowling is a very American game, not too many other countries play it. Despite no one liking it except America, it still can be a very engaging and fun sport. Bowling is a wholly simplistic sport deriving from Neolithic games such as, "knock that over, with this rock". The game has somewhat evolved with the industrialization of mechanization. Now there are a good set of rules and the equipment used and alleys bowled on are much more challenging to use than prehistoric rocks. The adaptation of this new equipment and implementation of set rules has made the game much more skill based than regular and conventional target practice. The game is played by tacking a bowling ball and lobbing it down a greased alley way toward a set of pins stacked in neat rows. Scoring is a confusing mathematical equation that is made from a number of variables including number of pins knocked over in relation to how many turns it took to be accomplished. Before computers where around to figure all the scores for us, keeping track of points was more work than the actual game itself. I will try to explain the system in a nut shell. If you knock over all the pins in own bowl that is called a strike, if you knock them over in two (which is a turn) it is called a spare. If you don't manage to knock over all the pins you only get as many points as the amount of pins you knocked over. Strikes score with the total number of pins plus the compiled number of the next score on top of it. The spare is the total number of pins and the number of pins hit afterward. For example if you hit a spare, then the next turn you got a strike your spare would be worth twenty points. But if you got a strike then another strike you would add the compiled score from the second strike to your first. This scoring system rewards consistency in game play over luck. So if you are a better more experienced bowler you are most certainly going to be the beginners hands down every time. Tossing the ball is the hardest part of actually playing the game. It requires that you use your bicep to actually toss the ball. When you contract your biceps so that you can give the ball momentum to find its course to the end of the alley way, you are actually building muscle. This is great for all of you who get tired of doing bicep curls; however, most bowling balls don't weigh more than fifteen pounds...so it will take a lot of bowling to build those muscles.
