"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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….

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.
