Had to do fr. squats with straps and clean pulls today.  Ring finger tendons/bones are very sore and the clean grip was stretching them too far into pain.  Resting them for a couple of weeks.  I feel the intense grip training pre-Arnold was the main culprit.  Grip strength is not hampered, only lateral/diagonal tension on the fingers.  Could it be a stress fracture? Tendon Pulley?
