Lifting vs Running's cyclic nature

In running the year is typically set up where you base build over the late summer with higher mileage but a lower intensity. In the fall you incorporates a slightly lower mileage but a high intensity. The workouts tend to long and not too fast. In the winter you start to incorporate a little more speed and explosive work while keeping up with the longer workouts. In the spring most of the longer workouts are replaced with faster shorter reps. By the time early summer rolls around mileage is very low and workouts are fast and short. The cycle then repeats itself hopefully building on the previous years.

I understand there is bulking and cutting for weightlifting but is there something similar to the breakdown of seasons for lifting as there is for running? Perhaps replacing regular squats and dead lifts with Olympic lifts or trying to be more explosive on regular lifts?
