    Your periodization should have a "unloading week" or a "reduced volume phase" to allow recovery and maximize gains over time.

    I would continue with heavy compound movements or a least include a few of them... You'll have more of a chance of losing your gains if you switch to all light training once the cycle is over. Reduce training volume, frequency to 4-5 days of a lifting a week at most and continue with heavy lifting for best the recovery.
