Any instinctive trainers out there?

I have a set outline that I always follow, and I have been working on being more instinctive the last few months. My personality does not like that, so it hasn't been easy. But it's getting better.

That's funny.. I'm just the opposite - I have a hard time staying with a set plan. I'm always changing something.. taking an extra rest day, working out a day early, splitting my workout into 2 or 3 short ones, trying some crazy exercise I read about on the board, maxing out when I'm not supposed to, going light when I'm not supposed to, etc.

I've been doing well with a WSB style workout because it allows a lot of flexibility.

I've also been doing a slightly modified WSB. I agree I like the flexibility it allows, but it's not my nature to not have a set routine to follow. Call it my engineer backround, but it's been hard for me to be instinctive and vary from what I have written down.

To help teach myself to be more flexible, I started putting multiple possibilities for each day. That really helped becuase then I was still following a "set" routine, but able to be flexible and add variety to my training.
