CountReps elevates every workout to a new level of precision, adapting to multiple activities and recording every second of configurable phases (concentric, eccentric, isometric). Set the different parameters and focus solely on the exercise, guided by CountReps throughout the execution.
Here are some practical examples:
Weightlifting
Set the number of repetitions and the duration of the concentric phase (lifting the weight), eccentric phase (lowering), and isometric phase (pause, e.g., in a bench press or squat hold position). Set a short rest between repetitions, if desired, and a pre-set preparation time for each set.
Running and Fast Walking (Interval Training)
Set a single repetition with a concentric and isometric phase for the sprint or fast walking phase, and an eccentric phase for the recovery phase. Add recovery time between repetitions for pauses between sprints and a pre-set time to prepare before each interval.
Plyometrics
Set the number of jumps or burpees, with a brief concentric phase (jump or explosive push), a brief isometric phase for landing (absorbing the weight), and an eccentric phase (returning to the starting position). Add a brief pause between each jump if needed.
Bodyweight Training
Customize the phases for exercises like push-ups or pull-ups: concentric phase (upward movement), eccentric phase (downward movement), and isometric phase (pause at the top or bottom). Use the pause between repetitions for recovery, and set a pre-set time to prepare.
Functional Training
For exercises like kettlebell swings, use the concentric phase (upward thrust), isometric phase (highest point), and eccentric phase (lowering). Set pauses between repetitions and a short pre-set interval before each set.
Yoga
Set the number of repetitions for poses, with a long isometric phase to hold the position and short concentric and eccentric phases to enter and exit the pose. Use the pause between repetitions to relax between positions.
HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
Use a concentric phase (explosive movement), eccentric phase (return), and a short isometric phase for pauses during exercise. Set short breaks between repetitions and a pre-set time to prepare for each interval.
CrossFit
Customize the phases based on the specific exercise: concentric (pushing or lifting movement), isometric (control pauses), and eccentric (return). Use short breaks between repetitions and a pre-set time for preparation.
Pilates
Set the duration of each phase based on Pilates’ slow, controlled exercises: concentric (contraction), isometric (position hold), and eccentric (release). Use the time between repetitions for recovery.
Suspension Training (TRX)
With TRX, you can monitor each phase, using pauses between repetitions for recovery and maintaining control over the entire movement.
Circuit Training
By configuring the phases for each exercise in the circuit, such as squats, lunges, or push-ups, you can better manage each phase and achieve a precise workout.
Powerlifting
Perfect for controlling the phases of maximal lifts (eccentric, isometric, concentric), with pauses between repetitions for preparation.
Dynamic or Static Stretching
Set a long isometric phase to hold each stretch position and pauses between repetitions to relax before changing position.
Muscle Strengthening
Set up each isolated exercise with concentric (contraction), eccentric (release), and isometric (pause, e.g., in the maximum extension position for calves). Add a short pause between repetitions.
