I was doing deadlifts the other day and for the first time ever I was unable to hold the bar in my left hand.

Two things:

I've been wearing elbow wraps the last couple weeks to help control some Tendinitis. These wraps may have been restricting my blood flow slightly, though I didn't feel anything but the slightest tingling occasionally.

I cut a tendon in my left forearm about fifteen years ago that wasn't reconnected. It is mostly redundant and at the time I didn't have insurance or 10k minimum for a plastic surgeon. I have full mobility in my left hand but there is a little knot of muscle that is obviously no longer connected to anything.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I've never had this happen before, though at times I have wondered if I had reduced strength in my left hand.

I was thinking about maybe doing some hangs or something specifically to work on grip strength.
