Finger numbness

Any of you ever experience numbness/tingling in your fingers when or shortly after lifting and occasionally creeping into other times as well?
Mainly my pinky and ring finger on my right hand.. seems to happen more when working chest/triceps than any other time

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so what you did to fix it.. thanks.

most likely in your neck

Yes. This happens when I do high rep or tempo high bar back squats. I talked to my buddy who is a PT about it he said the most likely case, the position you are holding your body in for extended periods causes poor circulation to the finger/hand. He said the body pulls blood/oxygen away from extremeties first when starved to oxygen. I’m paraphrasing but I think that was the just of it.

It's odd, but when my serratus muscles lock up my hands go numb. Since they're heavily involved in heavy bench press it could be your issues. I started rolling them out and no more numbness. FYI, it sucks bad the first few times.

Changing my bench grip helped me
