Field notes
The phone is propped about a metre away; at the start of each set, the counter measures the user’s top position and checks movement against that baseline. Its description names 33 body points and four signals—elbow angle, shoulder width in frame, nose-to-shoulder position, and torso straightness—with elbow and shoulder-width agreement required for a rep. The page also describes 25 seconds of rest before the creature starts hitting back, and says six additional towers remain under construction.
