I think I need to clarify what I mean by "testing pieces with all their body". I am not referring to the Aid climbers practice of clipping an etrier or sling and standing/bouncing on the placement, I am more concerned with the way I have seen people seat a placement and whilst holding the piece pull with such force that their whole body is swinging out from the rock in a break-dance like maneuvre.
