Anyone still doing all straight typing - how are your hands - doing if you push this full time? SM

NOT EDITING.  NOT SOME OF EACH.   STRAIGHT TYPING PEOPLE ONLY. 

I know my hands are burned out from years ago when production requirements kept being pushed higher every time you turned around.

8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and the last I remember being in house was 175 lines per hour of straight typing only, and being demanded more and more until I quit. 

Some of us have been doing this for 30 years and more, how are your hands feeling these days?  Can you still push 175 and 200 lines per hour or more and do that steady for 8 hours a day and 5 days a week?  

Yes, I realize there are other factors of macros, templates, easy dictators, same dictators every day, etc, etc.
