I used to regularly go to the gym
Two years back , while doing bar dips, i had a kind of jerk and due to which i couldn't lift my right hand.
There was no pain at all, just that i couldn't lift even a pound with my right hand.
My trainer advised me to take rest . Eventually my hand became normal.
So after a year i went to gym again, and after lifting the weight for some time, is I started experiencing tje same thing, my right hand became weaker than the left. I counsulted few doctors but none of them knew what exactly is the problem.
What i noticed:
When i do biceps exercise, i feel my biceps muscles are less involved as the right bicep is less pumped than right one and i feel as if i am using shoulder muscles to lift the weight.
After exercise, i feel less of my right arm as compared to left arm and my ring finger and pinky finger feel less to me as compared to others.
Also i feel good when i squeeze my forearm.
There is no pain at all
Just the weakness kind of thing.

Hello,
You must have injured your shoulder rotator cuff (supraspinatus) / Labrum.
Post traumatic disuse weakness after a long period of rest is common.
Resuming gym workout after an injury is tricky and challenging.
Before focusing on beach muscle training; You should focus on Shoulder stability exercises for first 4 weeks.
-Scapular focused rehab approach,
-Rotator cuff strengthening,
-Lat muscles training > chest muscle training,
-Forearm training.
Next Steps
In order to rule out the primary tissue damage you should do an MRI for your shoulder.
