Training cycles, cornhole bragging rights, and a real on-air debate about muscle — this is what a normal week looks like for a PBA Tour bowler.

In the final part of his mini-series with host Paul Schroeder, Chris Barnes gets into the actual mechanics of staying competitive in his 50s — starting with the moment his back first went out, on the set of an ESPN commercial shoot, years before his eventual surgery.

The "Chris Barnes" Origin Story | Conditioned To Bowl Ep. 33 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before he was a PBA Hall of Famer, Chris Barnes finished 15th out of 65 bowlers and barely made his college team's C squad. In Part 2 of his mini-series with host Paul Schroeder, Chris traces his path from a seven-year-old watching Marshall Holman and Mark Roth on Saturday morning TV to a humbling freshman year at Wichita State that almost derailed him. He walks through the years-long process of reworking his pushaway into the timing quirk that became his signature, and the moment he learned to
