HOW TO DO A PROPER CHEST FLY

Setup  Stand facing the camera, arms open wide at shoulder height with a slight elbow bend.

  1. Bring the weights together in front of your chest in a wide arc.
  2. Squeeze your chest at the top.
  3. Open back out slowly to a stretch.
Form cue: Meet at center

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, stand facing 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 shoulder angle (hip → shoulder → elbow) on-device — no wearables, no clickers. Dumbbells on a bench (or floor flys if that is all you have).

3

Just work — the counter does the counting

A rep banks at the bottom (~65°) and re-arms near ~150°. 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 CHEST FLY MISTAKES

Turning it into a press

Elbows stay soft and fixed. If they bend and press, it is a bench press cousin.

Going dangerously deep

Stop when you feel a chest stretch, not a shoulder strain.

Clanking weights at the top

Squeeze without slamming. Soft finish, hard chest.

Arching off the bench for more height

Ribs stay down. The fly is horizontal adduction, not a circus bridge.

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 chest fly 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.
