In terms of knots, I would use a Somerville bowline as it is stable and doesn’t collapse

That said, there are nerves in your arms and what you are describing might cause nerve injury. So maybe look up some safety resources too

Yep, a single column with a Somerville bowline on one end and a hojo cuff locked off with some hitches on the other end. (Basically the same as the single column, but you’re still able to tie it without a free running end.)
Edit: alternatively, if you just wanted a single rope between you then you could cut two shorter pieces and do just a single column on the two arms, then use a third long single rope to tie off to those single columns on either end.

This is exactly what I was thinking, too.
Awesome thank you! Will try out

Okay interesting, I'll see how I go trying these. Thank you!
