Numb arm from squats

[radical_P]

Hit a PR today on squats and when I racked the weight my arm went numb. Same one I shot the winny in. I believe I over did it on the lateral rotation of my Humerous and caused the Pec Minor to squeeze the Brachial Plexus. That never happened before. Kind of tingly still in my index finger. No pain or anything. Woohoo PR on squats. Anyone else done that before and no, not the PR thing..

Hmmm... not a doc, but sounds like you may have pinched a nerve. The numbness and lingering tingling would make me suspect that. I've had similar feelings in my hands from work. The numbness lasted for a couple weeks in my fingers.

Body2See, you need to get that bar further down your back. Get it off of your neck and put it on your lower traps & rear delts. BTW, you'll add 10-20 pounds to your max the very same day you make this change.
