What to review in your bench press
Gymscore gives an overall 0–100 score and feedback in 5 categories: postural alignment, foot placement, range of motion, overall movement quality, bracing.
- Whether the feet stay planted throughout the set
- Shoulder and torso position on the bench
- Bar path and range of motion
Recording angle
Keep your feet, torso, hands, and bar in the frame. A side or slight diagonal view can help you review the setup and the bar path.
Keep the camera steady and review the entire set. A video score is feedback on that recording; it does not replace a coach’s in-person assessment.
