    Sounds like you are stretching your brachial plexus, which is basically a bundle of nerves that enter your arm in the shoulder region. When you stretch or extend that area too much it can cause the numbness or tingling lower down. I get pinky numbness from extending my shoulder to much while holding a barbell. Dips are known to be harder on the shoulder. Watch your form or modify or change to a different exercise.
