don't work in terms of what? climbing or overall progress? Of course weighted pullups work. If you can 20 pullups properly, meaning 2 second holds at the top and full extensions, then you should be doing weighted pullups

I hesitate to comment regarding training b/c I'm no expert, but what the hell, that hasn't stopped hordes of rc'ers from butchering the post I started with irrelevant nonsense. But anyway:
the "weakest link" theory in climbing training has always made sense to me--the point of failure in climbing will virtually always be fingers/forearms, and almost never be lats/biceps. (One can perhaps think of counterexample, such as hucking maximum dynos off of big holds, but those will be the outlier situations that have little to do with vast majority of climbing situations.)
It may also be that the training gurus who eschew virtually all strength training and advise focusing on movement are on to something, but that's really going outside what you're asking (even though it may relate to what you should be asking).

If the TS asks, I will respectfully consider his request. But your and jt000's unsupported opinions are of little interest to me (or anyone else) as they lack meaningful content. I won't deign to engage in an "I know you are but what I am I" type of "argument." If either of you would care to elaborate on the "stupidity" (your characterization) or "pure nonsense" (his/her/its), I will consider your elaboration and delete or edit my post as appropriate. Otherwise, I request that both of you delete your posts, and then I'll delete this one. Deal?

Ever start having a conversation with yourself, and then wonder why you are doing it?
Apparently, no. But now that the question has been asked, I'll leave it to you to try to figure out the answer.
(If after suitable reflection you're unable to do so, let me know and I'll drop a hint.)

You have no idea what you're talking about, as usual.

Ever stop to think, and then forget to start again? Apparently, yes. Every sentence of your post is pure nonsense.

No.

A more relevant question is why I am bothering to have a conversation with you.

this is all you've contributed, and none were constructive, informative, or remotely helpful in progressing the discussion. in fact, it's basically right on par for all you EVER contribute, save one occasion i can think of, with your "correcting belay errors" post. by the way, that was pretty good.
the rest of the time, do you just sit around and think of snappy comebacks and killfile fuckers who disagree? it's kind of useless. you have a wealth of knowledge and experience; and instead of actually posting anything to that end, you sit around and belittle people. it's a waste.

Not sure what his/her/its (I'll use "his" as a guess) deal is--he pesters people about using the search function, which is not illogical if the goal is to delete posts that have no meaningful content.
But when I offered to delete my own post which, according to him, was "pure nonsense," which would then also allow him to delete his post "exposing" my purely nonsensical post, he seems to have a different agenda.
I'm sadly coming to the realization that the primary goal of many posters here is just to see their verbal garbage "in print" (sort of), and that's why so many posters got hacked off when I asked them to delete their stupid posts. When I began asking that, it was just my goal to keep things nice and orderly, but I think posters (correctly) perceived my request as challenging their very existence (at least is relates to posting on this website). Oh well, have a nice day, and the offer to delete all irrelevant and/or stupid posts still stands, but it must be accepted in toto.

Your sense of self-importance is astounding in light of your idiocy.
