If you lean slightly in the direction opposite the arm you are using you support your arm with your back muscles as opposed to just your shoulder. You'll feel it when you've hit the right position.

How on earth could puppeteers do the over-the-head thing for years? I set the lip of the stage so that I could rest my forearms against the lip, and thus the puppet would be at the perfect height and I never lifted my elbow above waist level. I know it's too late for that now, but in future shows-- Cheers, Alice Hello, I've just begun rehearsals for an improvised puppet show where we're going to be working with the puppets over our heads for 90ish minutes. My arms were quite quite sore the day after the first rehearsal. Does anyone have any stretching and/or strengthening exercises they can recommend to keep my arms happy?
