Crimping

Ever notice that when you crimp a bad hold really hard, you can step almost anywhere and still be able to make the next move? You might think that it is a good idea because by not shifting your legs too much to make the next move, you are spending less time on that poor hold thus wasting less energy. But i disagree due to the following reasons:

1) By crimping the hold, you are not training your finger strength. You are also exposing yourself to injuries.

2) Technique wise, by using a weaker grip, you are forced to assume a more efficient body position in order to successfully execute the next move.
