Where to put the phone
Face the phone, whole body in frame, arms crossed over your chest.
What closes a rep
Hinge at the hips with a long back, then stand tall. The rep closes on the way up.
What doesn’t count
A shallow hinge, a hinge that turns into a squat, or arms that leave the chest is refused, not counted.
One tip
Keep the arms crossed over the chest; hands behind the head are refused.
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 →
