What to review in your squat
Gymscore gives an overall 0–100 score and feedback in 5 categories: postural alignment, foot placement, range of motion, overall movement quality, bracing.
- Torso and spinal position through the descent and ascent
- Whether the knees track consistently over the feet
- Depth and control at the bottom of the rep
Recording angle
Film from the side with your full body visible. A camera around hip height makes it easier to compare your hip crease with your knee when reviewing depth.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What should I look at first in a squat video?
Start with posture through the entire rep, then review depth and knee tracking. In Gymscore’s published sample, posture was the most frequent limiting category.
What camera angle helps with squat depth?
A side view with your full body in frame helps you compare the hip crease and knee. Keep the camera near hip height.
