Default Tingling pain (weakness) in arms

The last 3-4 months ive been doing alot of heavy lifting (NROL Strength 1, followed by Waterbury Method, TBT, and Art of Waterbury), and the past couple weeks ive been getting some strange sensations in my arms and shoulders. Its a little hard to describe, but its kind of like a tingle in my arms.

When it started a couple weeks ago, it didnt really affect my workouts much, more of an annoyance, it was more after my workouts my arms felt extremely week. Like if i picked up a 5 lb plate i felt extreme weakness in my arms (but i could still bench 250 for a few reps 15 minutes before). Today i had to cut my workout short because i just didnt feel like i could generate much power doing push presses and chinups, my arms just felt so weak. If im holding my arms to my sides and i flex my arms, i get that weird weakness/tingle/pain all down my arm. About an hour after my workout it will feel fine and i can go about my normal daily activities without any weird pains.

I know i should probably go see someone about this, but any idea of what it might be? I did just take a full week off at the beginning of this month. Im hoping a week or two of rest will help. Thanks.
