Fingers don't have muscles in them . . . Your tendons can be trained to withstand higher forces, but they themselves won't help you pull harder.

Fingers most certainly do have muscles in them.

OP, be patient. It takes a long time to build finger strength, likes months and years.

Finger strength does not take months and years to build. The capability of tendons to handle increased loads, sure, but not the pulling strength of fingers. There are muscles in the hand, but not the fingers. Not sure why you think otherwise on any of these points.

Maybe because I had a basic anatomy class? There are muscles between fingers, and yes, in them. What do you think that meaty stuff is on the underside of your fingers. Geez......

There are over a dozen muscles in the hand.

You are also wrong in your assertion that it doesn't take months and even years to build the strength in your hands.

Please stick to what you know.
