Yes; but beware even then. I had a simple weightlifting routine once upon a time. Then I decided to improve it: I’d start using different weights for different (and more varied) exercises, and recording them. Pretty soon, I’d given it up altogether. Now I’m thinking of starting the simple routine again (but it isn’t optimal! waaah!), and even sell the bench that takes 15 seconds to adjust between different exercises, and just use the suboptimal stepping bench that takes 1-2 seconds to adjust.
And that reminds me. When I bought that stepping bench, I started using it right away, just stepping on and off, every day for 15 minutes or so. Then I bought a book about stepping. I was doing it all wrong; you had to use music, and it had to have a specific number of beats per minute, and you couldn’t just step on and off, you had to use complicated (for me, most people would probably find them quite simple) patterns. No more stepping...
