You will get more total body results in the long run by focusing on strength gains over a specific training period. You can certainly achieve some measure of result by just not sitting at home, and that's fine. You will get to a certain point and go no further without a plan. And if that's all you want, then by all means, do it.
I just don't see the point in dedicating oneself to a fitness program without any specific direction.

Oh, I have a direction. It's to look as good as I can at this stage from a physical perspective. I've done the diet thing, let my body adjust to the vegan intake and now I'm going back to the gym. I don't have any "I need to flat bench 400 lbs." goals. It's simply about minimizing the body fat to about 9 to 12% and keep the weight around 185 to 200 lbs. without suffering psychological meltdown because I haven't met a weekly goal that I set for myself.

Variations in the workout don't prevent plateaus, either. All you're doing is bouncing around losing and gaining strength on certain exercises by doing them and then abandoning them.

As I indicated, I'm not concerned about strength on a specific exercise. It's just about getting somewhat close to what I want from an aesthetic perspective.

And if that's what makes you happy, then more power to you.

So far I'm very happy. Three weeks in and I can definitely notice physiological changes. Workouts have been really intense, pumps are crazy good and everyone around me has made comments about the changes - even under my work clothes.
I'm definitely happy so far.
