I think I injured my A3/A4 tendon while pulling hard on a pincher the other day.. my middle finger (injury) was locked in a crimp position, but I do not think my other fingers were and this definatley hurt the tendons..
I also think I may have injured my right middle finger doing the same thing.. but it has healed.. now I'm kind of worried though, is this technique or trying to climb too hard without letting my tendons get stronger ? I have only been climbing about a year now..
Are these common tendons to injur, I hear mostly of A2 pulleys damaged.. obviously I am going to try and change my grip technique to not stress these, but I also think it may have to do with the shape of my hand and that sometimes my middle finger is (forced ?) into a crimp position while the rest of my fingers first joint remain unlocked..
or maybe I'm trying to climb too hard with crimp grip instead of waiting till I can use open hand grip on some holds..
