Throw or hold on?

Hey everyone!

So, I am trying to envision the proper way to do the hammer.  I think that I am trying to "throw" the hammer more than trying to spin it fast, hold on and release. After all of the events in LB the only one that I felt pain in my previously injured arms were the hammers. I am sure it was because I had bent arms and was trying to throw it.  Should arms not really be used that much besides to hold onto the hammer and stay relaxed?

What do you guys think? Is that an OK way of putting it.  I am just trying to make it click!

Thanks for the insight.  My biceps were exactly what strained on me on Saturday.  I will try to just "hold on" keep the arms long and see what happens during practice.

I still have no idea what you meant by golf grip, which is generally thought of to have interlocking fingers. 

But ya, NEVER put a death grip on the hammer.  Why u do that?

Wait...golf grip...I hold the hammer with my thumb up but not fingers interlocked...so like a partial golf grip.  Never though to ask how to hold a hammer...

Over thinking itt.
