Seeking Slower Progression

Hello friends. Thanks in advance for any and all help you can provide. Hopefully my request isn't overly complicated.

Twice now I've tried GZCLP and twice I've gotten injured. My guess is that the progression is just too fast for my body. Physical therapy has cleared me for lifting again so I'm just starting with the Basic Beginner program for the next month or so.

I really like GZCLP, but I need a slower progression. Is there a different program that would be better suited to my use case or can we just modify the GZCLP Liftoscript?

I like the concept of "own the weight." I'm thinking we go up in weight if all reps were successful 4 different days in a row. Any failure would bump down to the previous weight. Then it would be back to 4 times in a row before moving up again. I care a lot more about injury prevention and consistency than growth at the moment.

Thank you very much for your time!

workouts are saved in the wrong day

Hello,
I have been using Liftosaur for a couple of weeks now and I have a strange bug. I go to the gym on MO-WE-FRI. Last week, my WE workout was saved on TUE.

Today (I'm just home from the gym) the workout was saved... last Friday.
Did I do something wrong in the program setup?

How can I fix this? I mean to prevent this to happen again? I have the Android app

thank you

Apple Watch not showing heart rate

hi 👋

the Apple Watch app is not showing my heart rate in the top right corner where it’s supposed to. I can’t seem to find a setting to make that happen, what an I doing wrong?

A couple questions

Re Apple Watch integration- the Apple Watch does not recognize Liftosaur sessions as “workouts”. Is there any way to change this?

Is there a way to show time instead of reps on certain exercises, for example planks, dead hangs, etc.

General Gainz question

I see that the General Gainz in liftosaur is pretty simple, basically increase weight until you can do 6 Volume Drop Sets after the rep max. However I bought the book and I got lost about half way in, the first few chapters are simple but it seems to keep explaining the methodology in different ways. Increase intensity, weight, reps, rest, 3/4 sets. Etc.

Is the program in liftosaur based on the book? Or just on the most simple version of the GG framework? Has u/ashtanov read the book? Maybe you'll know what I mean.
