Okay, I've never had this problem before. This is what happens:

I usually do not alter the hands until the end of making the pose. So, I'm working on my pose and then I rotate the rigs right arm.




Before




After

Oh so sexy! The arm literally just gets fatter and fatter.. I'm rotate the joint by Origin>Global.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?.. this has never happened before

Use origin for the bigger joints, shoulder, waist, thighs. Use local for the imbetween joints, elbow, knee.

Sorry, what I meant to say was, "NOTE: When you're working on head, neck, spine, pelvis, thighs, and upper arms it's often useful to have the settings on Rotate Options be Center of Mass and Global. When you're working on forearms, calves, hands, feet, fingers, and toes it's often useful to change those settings to Origin and Local."

Unfortunately, I'm still getting this problem when I rotate the arm with the rotate settings on Center of Mass and Global. :/

Did you have the wrong joint selected? That's what it looks like from the pic.
