>>In the course of a tuning you will automatically do a fairly equal number
of clockwise and counterclockwise throws, so it "evens out" your muscle
tension as Dean May wrote about.

Actually, it doesn't. You are still holding your arm up either way which
strains your upper shoulder and neck muscles. What you need to work on are
the side muscles below your armpits in back: latisimus dorsal or some such
name. Those are balancing muscles to the deltoids on top. Exercise them by
doing pull down routines on the weight machine or chin ups if you can still
do them. ;-)
