Tracking your form in real-time is counterproductive. Kinesthetic awareness is essential to compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, and there's no way you are focused enough on the movement if you're doing reps while also watching a selfie. However, a post-set analysis could be really useful and be a great IAP option or reason to pay for a subscription.

I'm gonna go one further: giving a shit about form is a CIA psyop designed to keep you from getting stupid dummy strong.

  Loll yeah do whatever works the best for you! Think it's decent advice to start with general proper form and progress to other training techniques. Stay strong man!

  Caring about form is what those soyboy vegans want you to do. Real lifters push through the pain caused by poor form. Let the wolf out.

    I love soy. It is a wonderful complete protein that grows abundantly in a variety of climates.

Oh yeah, totally agree! I'm most likely not interpreting your comment correctly, so apologies about that! People can workout on their own so tracking in real-time vs watching yourself through a mirror isn't much different. We made is so that the app audibly tells you how to correct your form in real-time (make sure to turn up the volume!) So instead of uploading a video and wait to receive your analysis, you can correct yourself on the spot and make adjustments. Post-analysis is a great option for in-depth analytics but can be confusing to interpret. This was mentioned during our conversation with training academies. Again, great if you want more in-depth knowledge for sure! Thank you for taking the time to comment!

chicken before the egg. its reasonable to want to use this to ensure proper form before trying to strength train with said form. Every pic on their website shows zero weight or bars being used and there is a focus on getting good form. even if i was pushing weights to near failure, id want to know the second my form start tanking to avoid injury. proprioception alone is not enough to ensure good form until you can develop the awareness to maintain it.
