HOW TO DO A PROPER GOBLET SQUAT

Setup  Face the camera, hold one weight at your chest, feet shoulder-width.

  1. Squat down, keeping the weight tight to your chest and elbows inside your knees.
  2. Break parallel with your chest up.
  3. Drive through your heels to stand.
Form cue: Break parallel

This is the same instruction sheet you’ll find on the ⓘ panel inside the app — with an animated demo next to it.

How The Counting Works

HANDS-FREE IN THREE STEPS

1

Prop your phone and get in frame

Set your phone at roughly torso height and stand facing the camera. The built-in camera test confirms your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start.

2

The AI locks a 17-point skeleton on you

GoodReps measures your knee angle (hip → knee → ankle) in real time, entirely on your device. No wearables, no clickers. One dumbbell or kettlebell held at your chest — log it, track PRs.

3

Just work — the counter does the counting

A rep banks at the bottom (~95°) and re-arms when you return toward ~160°. Half reps don’t count, and after 3 clean reps it calibrates to your personal range of motion.

WHAT MAKES A REP COUNT

Form Still Matters

COMMON GOBLET SQUAT MISTAKES

Weight drifting away from your chest

The goblet only works while it's glued to your sternum. Elbows down, weight tight — if your arms are reaching, go lighter.

Elbows flaring at the bottom

At depth your elbows should slide inside your knees, gently prying them out. Flared elbows usually mean the torso is tipping.

Falling backward out of the hole

Deep is good; collapsing is not. Keep your weight mid-foot and drive straight up — the counterweight is there to help you balance.

Rushing out of the bottom

The bottom of a goblet squat is prime mobility work. Own the position for a beat before you stand.

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

What weight should I use for goblet squats?

Start with a single dumbbell or kettlebell you can comfortably hold at your chest for 10 reps — commonly 15–35 lb. Log it and the app tracks your PRs.

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.
