Straight From The App

HOW TO DO A PROPER BENT ROW

Setup  Turn side-on to the camera, hinge forward ~45°, back flat, weights hanging.

  1. Pull the weights up to your hips, driving your elbows back.
  2. Squeeze your shoulder blades.
  3. Lower under control.
Form cue: Pull to hip

Same sheet as the ⓘ panel in the app — animated demo included.

How The Counting Works

HANDS-FREE IN THREE STEPS

1

Prop your phone and get in frame

Phone at roughly torso height, set up side-on to the camera. A quick camera test checks lighting, distance, and angle before you start.

2

The camera locks a 17-point skeleton on you

GOODREPS measures your elbow angle (shoulder → elbow → wrist) on-device — no wearables, no clickers. Dumbbells or a barbell — hinge first, then row.

3

Just work — the counter does the counting

A rep banks at the bottom (~55°) and re-arms near ~145°. Half reps don’t count; after 3 clean reps it calibrates to your range.

Under The Hood

WHAT MAKES A REP COUNT

Form Still Matters

COMMON BENT ROW MISTAKES

Standing up out of the hinge

If the torso rises each pull, the hips are cheating. Stay hinged.

Shrugging the weight up

Pull elbows toward back pockets, not ears.

Rounding the low back

Reset the brace. A soft low back ends the set.

Half-pulls

Start long and finish with the upper arm past the torso — short rows do not count.

Your Data

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Rep counting runs entirely on your device — your camera feed is never uploaded.

Pose detection runs in your browser via TensorFlow.js. Camera frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing leaves your phone, and we never see them. Sign-in is optional; skip it and everything stays local.

FAQ

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Do I need any equipment to check my bent row form?

Just your phone for most variations. Add free weights when the pattern is clean — the app still scores the movement either way.

Does it work in a home gym or low light?

Run the built-in camera test first — it checks your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start. If a rep still slips through, manual counting is always one tap away.

Is my camera feed uploaded anywhere?

No. Pose detection runs entirely on your phone, in your browser. Frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded.
