Quote - EDIT: Posted at the same time as Sam so I agree with Sam, but I tried the arm lifting thing and I had no problems bending my arm (completely straight) at the shoulder above my head... I did it with my arms out like Frankenstien and also did it in the T-Pose and I'm very confused by what you (Sam) meant, lol. XD

Nope, try this:

Hold your arms straight out from the sides, palms down.  Now, try to raise your arms above your head, keeping the same orientation and without moving your arms forward.  Can't be done.  Notice your palms are now facing inwards.  If your arms hadn't rotated, your palms would be facing out.

If none of that happened, you're an alien, a robot or a freak.  :)
