Just repeating that cycle im curious what the results would be.
All things being equal.

"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Is it good to lift light weight work for a month then do heavy 5 rep sets for two weeks then switch back to light for 4 weeks?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You can certainly alternate between strength focused training and hypertrophy. I would stick with each for longer though. Something like 12 weeks to get maximum adaptations before switching

I used to alternate light and heavy workouts because it seemed to help recovery from the heavy sessions. However, I did it between each workout, not every couple weeks.

The truth is in weightlifting as long as you’re adding weight to the bar every time and you practice some consistency. Anything is going to work.
All this obsession about exactly how to lift doesn’t apply to 99% of the men out there. It only applies to guys that have already reached most of the pinnacle of fitness and they want to tweak stuff.
It’s like guys that are weekend bicycle riders, shaving their legs because they think that the hair on their legs is going to slow them down. Seriously. Or gear hounds….

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Truthfully your diet should be way dialed in before your adjusting your gym time like this, just get your gym time in and focus all this energy into your diet instead, remember this is 80% Food 20% Workout
Also eat for function, if you did do light weights you should be eating less carbs because you need less fuel than lifting heavy in my opinion, again talking about the food here is gonna be way more productive than the gym time.
