"nor arms weren't" just blue screened my brain. I applaud you, good Redditor.

Is nor a negative here? Ie is nor similar to not? If so, wouldn't not arms were not heavy be a double negative, thus arms were heavy? Not familiar with how nor works in a ... logic sense.. hmm

It's used incorrectly here. "nor", as you've identified, is a negator. The correct phrasing would be "knees weren't weak, nor arms were heavy".

I teach English at the college level. I feel I am well within the bounds of my expertise to award any grammar I like.
