now i am 13 years old but i can bowl 80 mphs, my friends told me that you are too quick.

I suspect you have not had the speed gun on you sushil. 80mph is impossible for a 13 year old. If you genuinely can bowl fast (perhaps not 80mph, but fast for your age) then get to your local first class ground and demand a trial immediately!

You say "For tricep kickbacks do overhead presses or handstand press ups" in the 'isolation myth' article, but tricep kickbacks are in your programme here...? Cheers

This plan is a little old and my principles have changed slightly. While speed work is a good idea, I would now only focus on compound exercises rather than isolation. Good point though.

Gotcha. I'm new to this site (and even working out), probably why I noticed it.

Yep it's a good spot, I have made a note to change it. Thanks.

i think this work is good for bowlers and his fitness essentials.

FOR MY OPINION ITS SUITABLE FOR QUICK BOWLERS.
