LIVEHOW TO DO A PROPER GLUTE BRIDGE
Setup Lie on your back, side-on to the camera, knees bent, feet flat.
- Drive through your heels and lift your hips.
- Squeeze your glutes until your body is flat from knees to shoulders.
- Lower under control.
Same sheet as the ⓘ panel in the app — animated demo included.
THREE STEPS TO A SCORED GLUTE BRIDGE
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.
The camera locks a 17-point skeleton on you
GOODREPS measures your hip angle (shoulder → hip → knee) on-device — no wearables. No equipment — floor space; add a plate on your hips when it gets easy.
Move — and watch the form bar
The bar fills from ~100° toward ~170° at the bottom. Cut range short and it tells you; full ROM is what counts.
WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES
- Your hip angle, live — from roughly 100° on the floor up toward 170° at the bridge. Little lifts don't bank; full extensions do.
- Your personal range of motion — after 3 clean reps the counter calibrates to how you move.
- The squeeze at the top — finish lazy and the form cue reminds you why you're here: "Squeeze glutes at top."
COMMON GLUTE BRIDGE MISTAKES
Arching instead of extending
If your lower back finishes the lift, your glutes never got the message. Ribs down, tuck slightly, and squeeze your glutes to raise your hips.
Feet too far away
Heels way out front recruit hamstrings over glutes. Plant heels close enough that fingertips can graze them.
Pushing through toes
Drive through your heels — you should be able to wiggle your toes at the top.
No pause at the top
The bridge is the destination, not a drive-through. Hold the squeeze for a full beat every rep.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
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.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Do I need any equipment for glute bridges?
No — floor space and your phone propped side-on. When bodyweight gets easy, rest a plate or dumbbell on your hips and log it.
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.
