Also, once the arms are moved up you can set the next portion as "linear" or "constant". I really wish I wasn't in the middle of a render! But paying much attention to the 3 types of animation line in the "Windows...Graph" window really does help to cut down on the animation weirdness :) Try editing with the graph window open and you'll see how setting new keyframes affects previously wonderful animation efforts, and how inserting "constant" sections can (sometimes) cure that.
