My lockoffs are pretty weak so pullups i think would help with that

Folks like myself and Eva Lopez have looked for lock-offs in climbing and determined that they are not as common as people think. It's conventional wisdom that something called "lock-off strength" is necessary in climbing but when doing video analysis it doesn't really show up. It's highly unlikely that lacking lock-off strength is a weakness that you need to address.

Douglas,

Does your video analysis include trad climbing as well? The two places where I feel my lock-off strength tends to be a limiting factor are select boulder problems and more frequently while trad climbing (ie. placing gear in an awkward or locked off position). Does your analysis account for this? Perhaps I need to adjust my gear placing strategies?

Edited for clarity, grammar.
