Petition to change the name of TRex arms to Scarecrow arms

I mean seriously, they're not bent in and up, they're bent out and down.

Doesn't work. If you make a scarecrow by stuffing a shirt with straw, the arms would also be stuffed with straw, making them proportionate. T Rex arms works as a descriptor because the arms are ridiculously tiny compared to the rest of the body.

But the arms arent tiny when you get them. It's when you work arms out hard after not doing so for a while. Scarecrow arms go out and down and are stiff, which is what happend. TRex arms are infront of your body and bend forward.

It appears that you've made up a thing and now you want to name it something silly. Go nuts.

Not sure what you're on about. T Rex arms refers to people who have tiny arms compared to the rest of their body due to not specifically working them. It's not about direction or stiffness, just ridiculous size discrepancy.

To be fair, I've heard it being referred to as proportion wise/bicep DOMS and having a strong bench press because their short.

Lol but bicep DOMS would actually cause your arms to be bent cuz it hurts to stretch them, so T Rex is still more appropriate.

From what im aware of TRex arms are when you do arms for the first time in a long time and a few days later your arms get stiff AF

Nope. It's when you squat every day and bench once a week with no bicep work. Huge quads, no arms.
