Where to put the phone
Side on, lying on the floor with the phone low. Shoulders and feet both lifted and in frame.
Stand side on. The depth and the line of the movement are clearest from the side.
What banks time
Time banks while shoulders and legs stay off the floor. Resting either one stops the clock.
What makes the counter wait
The lower the legs, the harder the hold; the timer does not care about the height, only that they are off the floor.
One tip
Bent knees are an accepted scale. The recap notes the variant.
After the set
Every set ends with the same recap: seconds held, time, 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 time. Why we count and do not grade →
