I have studied loomis, bridgeman, Villpu , Michel lauricella and burne Hogarth and each of them had it pros and cons.
To be honest, I'm not even sure anymore that construction is THE way to go, as I ve seen many artist start their figure without almost any construction, including Marc brunet and Dave Rapoza bog witch . It seems that foreseeing everything before drawing it can yield better result, so I'm currently trying that. Good luck with anatomy mate, its a hard bite to chew !
Construction is optional at a certain level it slow you down but i believe it needed in the early career of any artist because it help create mental image in your brain that will solidify overtime.I find relative proportion to be much more important than construction.But you can't develop a 3d model inside your mind without a strong study of construction.
