Frosty,

"... as an athelete plans on "working out" to strengthen her hammer
arm. We've already discussed safe ways to do this and what to watch for
to avoid injuries, first aid treatments, etc..."

If you guys come up with any good exercises for the hammer arm, let us
know.  I just don't get enough time at the forge to exercise it much
that way.  Besides, what with the tendonitis some people suffer, it
might be a good idea to build strength with a non-impact activity.

I've had a little problem with pain in the forearm.  Hurts a little to
use a hammer.  But I think the culpret is probably the mouse.  Like
Dilbert, I'm still pumped from using the mouse!
