Workouts- Variety vs Weight Increase

As I am doing Gym Styles this week, I thought about- what are your experiences with doing rotations which vary the weights- and exercises and your ability to increase weights, ie if you do the same or similar workout, it is easier to track your weight increase- or have you been able to see progress when doing rotations with different exercises and weights?
Thank for your input!

Deb,
I like it! Here's why 1. I Have X-train:). 2. I also as I have said, like variety and/but I do want to see progress. 3. I did finish Gym Styles this week, with 2 days of Low Impact Hit, so I'm actually ready to look at it ( since it's in my home gym in the next room and maybe even start tomorrow!. 3.Then if I can stick to it, will consider STS..
Many thanks for making so much sense of all this.

Mary,
Thanks for asking the question as it made me start thinking.
Deb,
Thanks for sharing the Xtrain 3-day split interspersed with the Xtrain Burn Sets for upper body (the official Xtrain 90-day rotation) \.
I am thinking of putting this on my next rotation. Is there an official Rotation for this?

Any suggestions for a sub for Kickboxing? I used to love it, but it just doesn't work for me anymore. I

I have to say i always loved the 100 Rep Challenge. My favs or the Hip Thrusts and Bis... Tris- not so much. Guessing our bodies tell us which ones to go with. Deb, your 'weakest link' theory is definitely on point.
 
The Xtrain series is indeed stellar!!
...I spent more money picking up the individual titles as I went along than if I had just purchased it all initially. However, each one just made me want another... :D

I love the hip thrust, rear delt and scarecrow challenges the best!
 
I started by fortifying my back so as not to hurt myself. Then the amplitude, and only after starting to lift the weight. I record all my training, what weight I lift, what kind of simulators I use. It helps not to get lost. I use X-Train too, I like how my body feels after the training.
