In praise of not repeating workouts

I know that repetition is key to progress, and lots of people love doing the same workouts over and over again. I am not one of those people; I love novelty. When I do repeat a workout, it’s not uncommon for me to find that the last time through was a year or more ago. But hear me out - all those different workouts with their different formats still added up to progress. And that workout I did a year ago - I’ve now increased my weights on everything, and that’s a great feeling.

Novelty-seeking or sticking with old favourites? Would love to hear thoughts.
