Are you describing this test? Arms out to the sides like a stick em up posture?

[EAST Test or "Hands-up" Test

The patient brings their arms up as shown with elbows slightly behind the head. The patient then opens and closes their hands slowly for 3 minutes. A positive test is indicated by pain, heaviness or profound arm weakness or numbness and tingling of the hand.]

My time is better than it used to be ..and less symptoms than years ago.. but still can't go a full minute. 30 sec approx.
Left side gets tight across the bicep and L hand looses coordination before the R side.
both get white, but return to normal with some red flushing as soon as lowered..

I have been very lax with my stretching and on the computer too much this winter..
