We extend a previous variational block-spin analysis of the realization of chiral symmetry in a strong-coupling lattice gauge theory to models which have been suggested as possibly describing massless composite fermions. In all cases we find massive fermion composites and spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. We also discuss the relevance of this result to the continuum limit.
