Still gotta watch the health consequences of being "fit but fat" though. But yeah, and having more muscle would up your metabolism so you`d burn more calories all the time and that`d help with the bodyfat anyhow.
One thing I`d consider (and they sure work great for me if I do them right) is using an IronMind Hip Belt for squatting. It`s great to simply take the whole spinal column out of the equation.
I guess everybody`s different, but it worked for my wife after just a few sessions, and her mind/muscle connection isn`t very great.
Noting that I *do* train to failure, and consider DOMS to be an indicator of a productive workout...I question whether training to failure (and/or experiencing DOMS) is really required for progress anyhow. Plenty of people do great without pushing that hard (e.g., many top gymnasts and even some top bodybuilders never train to failure and avoid DOMS like the plague, but they`re still *very* muscular)
Note that I *am* a huge fan of those Jones and Mentzer, especially the latter. But they weren`t right about everything.
What variable do *you* think needs tweaked for you to make better progress?
