Lately, while doing stand-up curls, the tips of my fingers fall asleep and tingle really bad. This never used to happen before. I used to curl one arm at a time. When I noticed this started happeneing, I switched to a barbell, working out both biceps at once. That didn't help. I am 23 years old. Is this normal? Is this even a common problem?
Thanks,
Steve

You're pinching a nerve. Relax your grip, rotate your hands 90 degrees. Or flex your fingers after every 10 curls while not holding weight in them.

That feeling is from cutting the circulation off. It is not normal and it is probably technique that is the cause. You are possibly squeezing the bar too firmly. Lighten your grip a little, lock your thumb around the bar and see if it makes any difference.

Never had that problem while doing 12 oz curls. Too many 12 oz curls though and you get drunk.

try stretching more, it could be bad circulation
