I have been dealing with a muscled arm swing for a good while now and I just can't seemed to break the habit, when I am able to not muscle my swing I lose a major amount of revs to where my ball barely hooks at all and my bowling suffers even more. Does anybody have any suggestions on things I could try to help with my situation? I have plans on seeing a coach here in the next couple of months, but I was hoping to try in the meantime to work on it myself. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

+1.  Coach Bonesaw nailed it as these are 2 things that I do when I run into this from time to time.  Concentrating on the release and slowing the footwork down both help.

good drill is to stand 1 step away from foul line
get the ball swinging and 1 step to the foul line, no knee bend, just swing and step, let it go.
virtually impossible to muscle this drill, keep at it until you can repeat that "feeling" of a loose armswing and loose shoulder.

i still "help" the ball from time to time, but not anywhere as much as I used to.
Takes a good coach, watching video of yourself and lots of practice.
Let me follow up the practice comment with "lots of practice with the proper technique"
practicing bad habits is just that - bad.......

Yeah, I like that Cobain quote too. Not a huge Nirvana fan, but Cobain was one hell of a poet.

it is not intended to be a timing drill
try standing wiht shoulders parallel to line, ball in starting position
let arm just swing like a pendulum and let ball go, impossible to "muscle" it
then - do the one step and throw, point being, free shoulder, free swing = no muscle
use that "feeling" to duplicate this in your normal approach and release
the no step and 1 step drill are good practice for a "no Muscle" swing

get a decent coach and go from there
