I can’t say for sure what it was or what caused it, I used to just stop doing overhead squats until it stopped. After a couple of months it went away and never came back.

I’d guess that it was related to failure to maintain an active shoulder though. For the overhead squat, this basically means you need to drive your shoulders up into your ears when you assume the overhead position. Failure to do so can result in nastiness, most notably this kind of shit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_outlet_syndrome.

If it persists, definitely go talk to some kind of medical person and do whatever they say, rather than listening to some yahoo on the internet (me).

I was experimenting with Overhead Squats the other days.. Using only a broomstick.. I think I did some nerve damage as I have a constant numbness in my left thumb also my left elbow joint on the inside is very weak..

Has this happened to you guys before? I am hoping it aint permanent damage and that my arms were just simply not used to being in that position..

Any suggestions???

Cheers..
