There's more than one type of long toss. You definitely shouldn't throw all out long toss every day. As long as you aren't feeling pain it is allright to throw hard long toss about 3 days a week and light long toss the other days.

The idea is to tear down the muscles a bit with the hard long toss and then to help get blood flowing to the muscles with the light long toss and also to keep scar tissue from forming.

Many arm injuries occur soon after long layoffs (sometimes necessary to allow tendons to heal) when scar tissue has had a chance to form and the arm has lost flexibility. Arms need to be brought back from a layoff very gradually.

The body does not lay down extra muscle fibers, it only builds up the existing ones.
