Odd prickling,needling, stinging skin sensation in core area during first set today?

has anyone else ever experienced this?

[uhit]

I get random ab 'pumps' (think water being pumped from a pipe) until I'm warm or when I just wake up. Not really anything painful like what you have, just discomfort. Had it past 5 years so I'm used to it.

Do you mean needling like when you get pins and needles and it starts burning a bit?

when I do crazy drop sets I get a kind of numb prickling feeling inside my muscles but It goes away quick after im done I guss its just the blood being pushed out during an intense exorcise

Are you taking a pre workout?

It all was skin related, muscles seemed to be unaffected. Though it all seemed directly related to (for lack of a better word: ) "straining". For example, the first set was a light weight, very slow, 30 rep perfect form barbell curl, and by rep#20 my skin around my abs and back was burning and itching as if i had been sprayed with some irritant chemical or something. But i rested at the bottom of rep 25 for a few seconds and the irritation seemed to die down, but it came back gradually during the strain of the final 5 reps of that set.

It went away after that set, but man, that was really uncomfortable.

Are you taking a pre workout?

just coffee and b12 dissolving tablets about an 30-60 minutes prior.
