Cycling between light medium and heavy lifting

Experts say 6 weeks of heavy lifting then cycling to 6 weeks of medium lifting is right.

I would say for me 8-9 weeks of heavy lifting then 4 weeks of medium lifting.

Right now I vary the weight based on how I’m feeling that day.

But I may force myself to lifter light for 4 weeks.  Lifting too light for too long means muscle size disappears so it’s to be done in moderation but when you go back to lifting heavy you should be lifting even more from the rest your body has gotten.
