Setup

  1. Prop the phone side-on to the bench so the bar's full path, your hips and your feet stay in frame.
  2. Tap a plate on screen to lock tracking . Bright coloured plates track best. With black plates, put a strip of coloured tape on the plate edge.
  3. Tap Arm, lie down and unrack. "Start" comes once the bar, your feet and hips have been still for the hold time. In rep work you get a "Start" before every rep.
  4. "Press" comes a random time after the bar stops on your chest. "Rack" comes at lockout on your last rep. Press early and you get red lights and a buzzer.

Command voice

Record each call in a quiet room, close to the phone, the way a head ref says it. Silence before and after is trimmed so the call plays the instant it's triggered.

Bar travel

Reps

Response is the time from the press call to the bar moving up. Speed is mean concentric velocity.
