Question about Repetition vs Variety

I've watched this video several times and have been scheduling workouts for a while, but I'm starting to wonder if I might be overlooking something. My question doesn't come up in the article.

(https://www.fitnessblender.com/articles/how-to-build-your-own-workout-program-with-fitness-blenders-workout-videos)

In my schedule Monday is upper body strength training, Tuesday is lower body strength, Wednesday is HIIT, Thursday is total body, and so on. Over a month's four Mondays, I do four different upper body strength videos, over the four Tuesdays, four different lower body strength videos etc. I was assuming different workouts targeting the same muscles challenge them slightly differently, which was a positive. Because I love so many different workout videos I may not reschedule a specific video until months later.

But I've recently read that doing a different workout video every day is actually not beneficial, and that for strength training in particular, I should return to the same workout to target the exact same muscles within a shorter time.

Can anyone shed some light on what is more effective?

Thanks in advance...
