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!
