I'd go to the gym, and the machines that I wanted to work with would be occupied or broken, and I'd have to make something up on the fly. What I would come up with would always turn out better for me than what I wanted to do in the first place. I'd substitite free weights and bodyweight exercises for machines, and torch my muscles and cardiovascukar system. Also, my karate school closed for a week for summer vacation, but I wanted to get a couple of different workouts in during that week. So I tried a boxing class on a whim, and found that I likes boxing better than karate. Who knew? Now I'm hooked. Blessings in disguise. My best workout routines have happened by accident.

In my opinion, you have first to understand the tehory, and then think for yourself and apply your own personal touch to what you do to keep motivated and keep improving daily. Problem with most people in gyms is that they do not even want to understand why they are training like that, they do not even question if there is a better way to do what they do. For me, this is the difference between decide for yourself or let others decide for you, is something that reflects in every aspect of your life Great post, I agree that creativity is essential, but you must take into account that you can be creative once you know how to do things.

A lot of people are now caught up in Minecraft, however few people realize that the game has been slowly developed into what it is now, through time and patience. And more sepcifically to this article, Notch didn't always follow the herd with this game either- many people were upset about how he changed ladders, yet he did it anyway. Later development was spent listening to the community when they complained about a monster in the game being too powerful, but again if we had NO feedback at all we would be just as lost at making a commercial product. Notch's market wasn't just himself anymore once he reached that point. I actually have a video gaming example.

Only caveat I would add is that those that are new to training MUST learn the nuts and bolts of programming before running off to do instinctive training. Instinctive training works the best when you have had several years of experience in the gym and have learned what it means to put a decent program together. Awesome post.
