Where to put the phone
Face the phone, whole body and both hands in frame. Any phone height works, from the floor to your hips.
What closes a rep
Stand, squat until your thighs are at least parallel, stand back up. The rep closes when you are standing again.
What doesn’t count
A squat above parallel, or one pushed up with the hands on the thighs, is refused, not counted. If your feet or hands drop out of view for more than a moment, the rep is refused too.
One tip
Thighs at least parallel, and no pushing on your thighs. Everything else is yours.
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. Detail beyond the movement’s own rules is measured for the recap, never used to refuse a rep. Why we count and do not grade →
