Animation destroys character arm when moving using bendy bones

I created a character with a simple cylinder arm and included a bendy bone with 16 segments for animating.

My issue is when I try to move the arm upwards, it looks terrible in the animation because it squishes all my meshes together and looks like a blob

The 2nd image is when it is moving upwards and it just gets deformed

Note I added a lot of loop cuts in the arm so it can bend, yet it looks terrible for animation unless theres a way to soften this or what should I do?

I don't see how it is possible to make my characters arm move upwards without it looking awful because of the bends in the mesh

Don't know whether this tutorial is any help? – John Eason Mar 11 '22 at 00:31
so what are image 3 and 4, it looks correct here, no? Maybe take a look at this question: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/116124/how-to-rig-a-cartoon-style-hose-limb-cartoon-arm – moonboots Mar 11 '22 at 07:14

if both comments doesn't help, pls provide blend file – Chris Mar 11 '22 at 07:50
@moonboots yes, but the 2nd pic is what happens for me to get to image 3 and 4. So when I set the keyframe you can see image 2 in the animation where it gets crushed – makerbaker Mar 11 '22 at 08:54
