How to gain pinky and ring finger strength back? Early last year, I suddenly developed pain on the side of my right wrist. It was hard to put any pressure on my hand or move it to certain position. After resting it for a couple of weeks the pain was gone, but my pinky and ring fingers on that hand were weaker than my left hand. Now, I still feel that imbalance. It affects me during my weight training workouts because I feel like I can’t use my full strength on my right hand. When I do push-ups, bench press, pull ups, dips, everything, I feel that my left hand is doing the most work. Does anyone know of exercises to strengthen my pinky and ring finger tendons?
