Is it advisable to begin light weight lifting to increase arm strength?  My arm and hand strength seems to be fading.  Any thoughts?

Hey

Weightlifting is a touchy subject, since if done incorrectly it can cause more damage. If you can find a pool, swimming...in whatever form you can do it...is a much better alternative...still a good workout, but much less chance for damage.

Personally I've found swimming most beneficial for me. It is also true that if you don't use it, you will lose it, so doing something is a very good idea...just need to find something that can't likely make things worse.

We will be posting the BMD conference video soon and there are quite a few long conversations about this exact topic. I encourage you to come to next year's conference in Chicago in early August.
