How does this program work?

Sometimes I look ahead to the next day, or read the message boards, look stuff up...etc. When I look at the exercises that are listed for a workout (four exercises or so, usually 3 or 4 sets each), it doesn't seem complicated (credit to the designers) but it doesn't hit some of the target areas that I think are important. (eg: chest workout today, butterflies have never been mentionned) It's only my third week, so I'm still waiting for the workouts to get more intense. Should I sub-in the extras as I see fit, or stick to the plan as it's written? D
