"Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good" - very good point. One amusing takeaway from the book Starting Strength: The author spends a bit of time talking about why various fad exercise programs aren't a great way to get really strong. His gist is that there's a 'novice effect' where if you're not strong, doing anything will make you a little bit stronger, even if you're not even using the muscles you want to train. So, even an ineffective training program will seem to have results at first. The corollary of that is: pretty much you do is going to have an effect! If you're not looking to be super efficient and train for massive ultimate strength, then you might as well just pick something you enjoy, and switch it up when you get bored. Better to do that, than to pick the 'perfect' workout, and quit after a month because it bores the crap out of you.
