Last season I dislocated a tendon in my right hand putting me out of working out for about 4 months, getting back in I have noticed that my hand has been lacking in strength though I have been consistently working out, anyone know good forearm, hand, and or grip workouts that could help me out. By the way, training for the Highland Games so hand strength is crucial.

    You probably know this, but deadlifts (no bands), pull-ups and similar exercises are great for grip strength. Also there are severat variations of wrist curls that you can try, just search wrist curls on youtube and you should get a fair amount of videos

    Isn't there literally a thing called a hand grip? That was created specifically to work out your hand/grip strength and your forearms?

    They make squishy eggs that are great hand therapy. Different puttys as well. Depending on which tendon it was you could do overhand grip curls and underhand tricep extension. You could also try bringing your thumb to the same side of the bar on safe lifts to vary your grip.
