Is my pull-up form right?

A full pull-up starts from a dead hang with your arms straight and finishes with your chin over the bar, without swinging your body to get there. The common faults are half reps that never straighten the arms at the bottom, kipping or swinging, and shrugging your shoulders up to your ears instead of pulling them down.

Upload one set of pull-ups and see your range of motion and swing, then the one thing to change on your next set.

The check picks what matters in your set, which may be none of these. Each thing it reports comes back as looks right, adjust, or can't judge. Never a score, and never a number nothing measured. You get the one thing to change on your next set.

How to film it

  1. 1
    Any angle works. From the side or slightly in front shows range and swing best.
  2. 2
    Your whole body and the bar in frame, from hands to feet.
  3. 3
    Film the whole set, starting before the first rep.
