Arm goes numb during chair dips?
I have an issue where my arms go sorta tingly and numb after about 25 chair dips. I can still do reps afterward (have gone up to 42) however my arms feel really weird doing it. Nothing like they normally do after I am getting tired from push ups.

It is worth noting that that point of 25 has been slowly going higher, but at a much slower rate than my maximum reps is going up.

What could be going on here? How can I make it better?

It might be that your arms are in such an angle that bloodflow is slightly cut off, which would cause this feeling of going numb.

Are you doing the dips behind your body (assuming you are since the title says chair dips)? In that case you could try doing dips on parallel bars. This way your arms aren't as far back (basically next to your body) which could solve the problem.

Hope it helps.
