Why can't I do full-step bends? Or: Why can't I play like Elliot Easton?

i just accidentally bought 10 gauge strings with a .22 gauge wound G string.

 

i tried it out for two weeks, convincing myself it would improve finger strength, but I just HAD to change it back to a normal gauge.

 

Luckily it kinda worked, bends are a bit easier for me now. also, get in the habit of always using two or three fingers my man.

 

edit: I always have used 10 gauge, and stayed at 10.

I use a pretty standard set of 10's and don't have trouble bending full steps or more, at least with the middle two fingers. This talk of using extra fingers for strength is beyond me. Controlling how much to bend exactly is much harder at times.
