Where to put the phone

Whole body in frame, feet on the floor visible. Any phone height works as long as the hips and knees stay in the picture.

Stand at roughly 45° to the phone. The counter still reads the cycle from the front or the side; the angle only decides how much technique detail the camera can see.

What closes a rep

Stand, sit down, stand back up. The cycle closes when you return to standing.

What makes the counter wait

A twitch in the knees without a real descent is not a rep. If the phone briefly loses your feet, the rep still counts once the cycle completes.

One tip

You do not need to hit a depth target to be counted. Depth is measured and shown in the recap, not used to refuse the rep.

After the set

Every set ends with the same recap: reps counted, time, pace, the longest run, pauses, whether the second half held up, and the camera angle the phone actually saw. Technique detail is measured for the recap and never used to refuse a rep. Why we count and do not grade →
