ceebo wrote: Just for example doing deadhangs wieghted. Can you ever reach a point where you are just too strong in relation to whats actually needed to climb a route with hands/feet?. Or does any amount of finger strength bonus higher than the required amount to do X climb convert into a form of endurence?. I think what im trying to ask is.. am i better off spending my home time training up endurence instead of training and increasing maximum finger strength. If I understood your question, then I would suggest no. Finger grip for resting does not substitute endurance. They all work togeather in different circumstances. For example, what good is grip strenth when you want to rest on a nice jug, if you are weak in other areas you will tire. Where you lack in strenth in some areas, well you can substitute that for strenth in others but to be perfectly honest your best tool is your brain. Most of the time personaly I find where I have failed is because I have not planned my holds very well, yet I am fairly strong and have endurance. Naturaly out of just climbing, you will discover weekness in certain areas, and you will naturaly use other strenths in your body to compensate. We are all built differently. If your weakness is you are short like me LOL, you have to compensate with climbing IQ and madness dyno's and a good sence of humour.
