HOW TO HOLD A PROPER WALL HANDSTAND HOLD

Setup  Kick up to a handstand facing the wall, side-on to the camera.

  1. Walk your feet up until your body is a straight line.
  2. Press through your shoulders, head neutral.
  3. Hold steady until the timer ends.
Form cue: Straight line head to heels

How The Check Works

THREE STEPS TO A SCORED HOLD

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 elbow angle (shoulder → elbow → wrist) against the pose target (~170°) on-device — no wearables. A clear wall and enough space to kick up safely (spotter optional).

3

Settle in — the timer only counts real alignment

The hold timer runs while you’re in the pose. Drift out and it pauses (doesn’t reset) until you find the shape again.

Under The Hood

WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES

Fix These First

COMMON WALL HANDSTAND HOLD MISTAKES

Banana back against the wall

Ribs in, glutes lightly on. Make a straight line, not a curve.

Dumped shoulders

Push tall. Soft shoulders make the hold shaky and short.

Holding your breath in panic

Breathe. Inversions feel louder when you freeze the diaphragm.

Feet constantly dancing

Quiet feet on the wall. Fidgeting usually means the stack is off — reset.

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 gear for wall handstand hold?

Usually just floor space (and whatever the hold requires — bar, wall, or bench). Your phone camera does the coaching.

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.
