Recording tips

  • Film from the side to catch any lower-back arch as you press.
  • Keep hips, shoulders and hands (overhead) all in frame.
  • Stand back so your full lockout is visible at the top.
  • Keep it under ~30 seconds.

Better lighting and a full body in frame give the AI a more accurate score.

Faults the AI detects

Arching the lower backFix

You're leaning back to press — brace your core and keep your ribs down so it stays in your shoulders.

Not locking out overheadMinor

Press all the way up — fully straighten your arms overhead at the top.
