Of course specific training will more directly impact your climbing. Both research and personal experience support that. The question is, does strength training have any use at all for climbing? While there is not direct research, there is related research supporting decreased injuries in strength-trained athletes in other sports. So, based upon that, and my clinical experience rehabilitating injuries, My opinion is that strength training is useful for climbing, for injury avoidance.
Avoiding injuries allows you to climb more, which allows you to improve your climbing.
One of the more intellegent things I've heard....
and what injuries, try rotator cuff injuries for one. Sorry, didn't see the above response before posting. But believe me, I know several people who have had surgery on the rotator cuff and the 1 yr recovery would suck to have to do.
