How it works

Process: Take photo, automated processing, parametrized model

Upload Hand Photo

Better photo, better fit.

You need another person to help take the photo.

  1. Place a credit-card-sized card on a horizontal surface (do not show any sensitive information).
  2. Place your right hand flat near the card, but without touching it.
  3. Splay lightly your fingers with your palm facing up.
  4. The helper should hold the phone roughly 1 m above the hand, center the hand in the frame, and take a photo.
  • Make sure all 4 fingers are flat on the surface by focusing on having all your finger joints and tips in contact with the surface. This is critical.
  • Use a flash. If you don't see the creases in the photo, the software won't see them.
More tips...
  • Only show one hand (the one being measured).
  • Use a camera with 12 MP or more resolution. Your phone might have many cameras; use the one with the highest resolution.
  • Send the image in the highest quality your phone allows.
  • The exact distance is not important, but aim for about 1 m away from the hand.
  • Use a physical zoom if available.

Training Protocols

Finger Position

  • Distal Phalanx (tip): Horizontal.
  • Middle Phalanx: 45 degree angle.
  • Proximal Phalanx (base): Vertical.
  • Poor form may allow for a heavier weight but increases injury risk and reduces isolation of the FDP.

Training Protocol

  • Volume: 3 sets to failure.
  • Duration: Repetitions between 30 and 240 seconds.
  • Onboarding: Start slowly without reaching failure to allow for adaptation.
  • Chalk: Do not use chalk. The device was designed to limit the importance of friction: if you are slipping, it means you can't maintain proper form.

Troubleshooting

  • Crimp Compensation: If a finger shifts to a crimp, reduce intensity and focus on form.
  • Pinky Curling: Usually caused by over-flexing other fingers. You can also try moving the pinky laterally along the edge.
