So when you're saying do different things every week, do you mean incorporate something different along with your regular routine or just straight up do nothing but that for that week? I like to vary up what I do within all my weeks as far as different types of classes I do climb machine 3 to 4 times a week rebounding 3 times a week free weight training twice/week. I wish I could do 3 but I like to have a day in between because I can't do it 2 days in a row. One thing I've found is that I have to do yoga at least twice a week or my body's really a wreck. it's hot yoga so it's really good for lengthening the muscles. With my studio being closed since last Monday I've struggled to find other things to do.so I haven't been working out as much as I normally do obviously and my muscles aren't that sore. I'm not really sure how much soreness you should live with as part of "this is good cause I'm building muscle" or how much is "this is a strain and I really shouldn't be doing it". I think with my soreness was more than I was doing stuff that was putting stress on my shoulders without strengthening them if that makes sense. once I started lifting a little heavier my shoulders got a little bit easier to deal with.

Nothing but that. If I’m weightlifting, I’m focused on individual muscles that day unless it’s legs and back/core day. I tend to incorporate those two.
So on the weeks that I do CrossFit workouts, one workout will be: 10 reps medicine ball slams, 10 reps kettlebell alternating shoulder press, 10 pull-ups, 10 wall balls - as many reps as possible in 15 minutes, no more than 30 seconds rest between. The next workout will be a quarter mile sprint, 21 pushups, 21 box jumps, 15 burpees or squats if my back is killing me, and 9 pull-ups. That one is called 21 Guns. You do as many reps as you can in 21 minutes. Then, your left arm goes numb and you seize on the floor.
I forgot to mention I do 15-20 minutes of cardio after all workouts. I’ve bulked before and I don’t care to do that anymore. Just want my organs to function as well as possible.

Yep, I agree with @Kontradiction . Keep mixing it up. The whole idea of progressive overload means you want to be stronger / more complete the next time you do the same exercise, so you can increase the level. Doing the same exercises once a week doesn’t get you there. I think it’s best to see the same exercise once every 2-3 weeks.
TRX seems like a good new routine for @HSanders

My favorite machine in the gym? Why, vending of course.
