Most of the plans I have seen sacrifice climbing for fingerboarding. Perhaps 2 fingerboard sessions a week and one climbing.
Anyone who sacrifices two climbing sessions a week for finger boarding doesn't want to become better at climbing.(Or is doing more than 5 sessions of climbing/week anyway)

If you are a top climber that isn't getting much better at climbing, concentrating on one arming everything on the BM at the expense of bouldering would probably help, but I doubt many of us plebs are finding themselves in a strength bottleneck that limits their climbing.
On the other hand, I've seen plenty of really strong climbers that aren't crushing anything because they're shit at climbing rocks... (Not saying that fingerboarding is bad, just pointing out that strength isn't everything.)

(Not saying that fingerboarding is bad, just pointing out that strength isn't everything.)Oh for sure but we are talking about fingerboard periodisation and discussing how you can manage it alongside climbing. If you want to see the greatest finger strength improvement you probably won't want to climb as regularly as if you weren't focussing on fingers.It's obviously a completely personal thing and yes, some people would benefit more from simply climbing.
