Dips

Good ol' dips. I tried one last night. I couldn't do the free body weight, though I tried a few times.

So I waited a bit, and moved over to the assist machine to try it. There was at least 1 min from the time I tried body weight to doing about 100 lbs on the dip assist machine. It was a fairly good workout and I could do 6 full exercises. Here's the catch, right after the workout, my right arm was tingling on a strip from wrist to shoulder. Looking at the top of my arm with the palm down, it was on the left side of my right arm and ran up through my bicep with the elbow somehow involved.

The next morning (today), it's not as bad, and seems a little better, but I still feel some numbness. I've read something that I might have just smashed a vein or something in my hand causing the numbness up my arm. I dunno. What's your experience?
