You're right, that's where I got the bar speed stuff from and that's the example that was confusing me. In the example, they eventually added twenty pounds to a weight they were having obvious trouble with. It appeared they worked through it, but stalled again quickly. Thanks for clarifying that.

I like the microloading theory. It allows you to progress, however slightly, where you otherwise may not have been able to progress at all. I also think because of my age (I'll be 50 in April), microloading will help because I'm likely not producing the quantity of hormones that the younger lifters do, thus building strength and muscle slower.
