Here's a tip (ok, it's really a plug): Stop weightlifting with traditional squeezers!
For anyone interested, my company (MDS) has developed a new Hydropneumatic Riveter System. Below are the Youtube links. You can see it at Oshkosh Airventure 2010, at Cleaveland Aircraft Tool's booth, right next to Vans booth.
I developed this system while building my still not complete RV-7 (that is it in the video). One day I'll get it done...

The C-yoke riveter shown, weighs only 2.5 Lbs, with yoke, as compared to a standard squeezer which weighs nearly 6 lbs. It is also obviously smaller. The intensifier (power generation portion with foot valve) can be used to power other heads such as a blind rivet puller or alligator squeezer.
I'll be at Oshkosh on Tuesday and Wednesday on and off at Cleaveland's booth, if you have questions or want to see it in action.
