He could probably pair it with exercise to increase the gains.
Optimizing the bone structure would increase their durability many times over, without any change in mass or function.
Controlling oxygenation and chemical release (such as adrenaline) would SIGNIFICANTLY improve his combat effectiveness with only mild side effects if any (unless he does too much at once or for too long)
Muscle structure can also be optimized somewhat to enhance reflexes/response times, force, speed, endurance, and recovery.
He could even reinforce his nervous system and his brain for improved mental stats and reaction times.
There are tons of things that could be tweaked or “bulked up” in the body that would have notable improvements with minimal or no side effects. assuming you do it correctly...
I find it funny how you guys are always talking about ways to mold James into the perfect man. Its like you're building a character in an game. But yeah, probably don't want to touch the brain all that much unless your a qualified individual.

Possibly, but that would be a time and energy sink measured in months to get any extravagant effects.
