HOW TO DO A PROPER JUMP SQUAT

Setup  Face the camera or turn side-on, feet shoulder-width.

  1. Squat down to parallel.
  2. Explode up into a jump, driving through your heels.
  3. Land soft and absorb straight into the next squat.
  4. Heads-up: the rep counts at the bottom of the squat — the camera doesn't check that you left the ground.
Form cue: Drive through heels

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, face the camera or set up side-on — both work. 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 knee angle (hip → knee → ankle) on-device — no wearables, no clickers. No equipment — bodyweight and a soft landing.

3

Just work — the counter does the counting

A rep banks at the bottom (~90°) and re-arms near ~165°. 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 JUMP SQUAT MISTAKES

Skipping the squat

If you don't load the spring, it's just bouncing. Sink to a real squat depth before every takeoff — the camera checks the descent.

Landing loud and locked

The landing is a squat too. Touch down softly, knees tracking over toes, and absorb straight into the next rep.

Knees caving on takeoff

Valgus under speed is worse than valgus under a barbell. Push the floor apart as you jump.

Chasing height over rhythm

Max-height jumps fry you in seconds. Aim for consistent height with a steady beat — that's where the conditioning lives.

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 for jump squats?

No — bodyweight only. A forgiving surface (wood, turf, a mat) beats concrete for repeated landings.

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.
