There is a saying in Organizational/Leadership Management. It goes like this, "A good solution now, is better than a perfect solution eventually."

Not really. You pretty much need a board, a nail, and some pliers. Anything else would just end up getting too gross.

It makes sense though... why waste all that energy doing exercises from a program when there might be a better program out there? Or what if I was doing it wrong? Its better to just stall a little bit and get that all figured out first, and THEN hit the gym.

I have more to add, but the pizza guy is here.

peace.
Exactly!

I understand your frustration. I'm a "why" person as well. But, sometimes you have to temper that inquisitive nature and become a "do" person. I've found that the answers to all of the "why" questions become much more clear after you've "done" something.
