Physique AI Scan

Read full description

See where to focus your training. UpperMax turns three guided photos into an AI physique analysis and a Focus Program for your priority muscles. Already have a gym routine? Keep it. Use your scan to choose where to focus your direct muscle work, log your prescribed sets, and follow your physique over time. Complete analyses, Focus Programs and set tracking require a subscription. UNDERSTAND YOUR PHYSIQUE Take a guided scan with your iPhone camera: front, left oblique and right oblique. See your Frame grade and six Physique signals: Shoulder-to-Waist Taper, Leanness, Shoulder Development, Chest Development, Arm Development and Abdominal Definition. Use the analysis to understand your proportions and muscular priorities. Grades are estimates based on visible physique features, not medical measurements or guarantees of change. TURN YOUR PRIORITIES INTO FOCUS WORK Your Focus Program gives you stable exercises, prescribed working sets, and load and repetition targets for your selected muscular priorities. Those sets replace the direct work you already do for that exact muscle target. Fit them into your usual workout. UpperMax programs and tracks this focus work, not the rest of your workout. LOG YOUR SETS. FOLLOW YOUR PROGRESS. โ€ข Record working sets, repetitions and load in a Focus Session. โ€ข Record how hard the final set felt to support your next target. โ€ข Review completed sets and recorded exercise performance. โ€ข Take weekly scans to follow your physique separately from your training results. โ€ข Compare compatible analyses in your own scan history. At the end of each training week, review your recap and take a new scan when you are ready to continue. You can take a break between weeks. Regular reviews help you reassess your priorities and continue your program while keeping your training history. HOW TO START 1. Take your three guided photos. 2. Review your physique analysis and choose your muscular priorities. 3. Start your Focus Program and log its working sets inside your usual workout. AI PROCESSING AND PRIVACY With your explicit permission, your three photos and the profile information needed for analysis are sent to Google Gemini.

CHEAT THE BEEP. OUTSMART THE TEST. Every other beep test app is exactly the same: incessant beeps and no real progress. Without a strategy, beep test training is slow and practice becomes pointless. Before the Beep is built around a strategy, and it's aimed squarely at anyone chasing selection for police, fire or Defence recruitment or specialisation. The two biggest barriers to beep test success both come down to pace. Newbies burn precious energy early by going out too fast, then get knocked out of their shoes when the level jumps and the pace picks up. Before the Beep is designed to outsmart both. PACING CUES Cues at 70%, 80% and 90% of every shuttle tell you where you should be before the beep does. Stop chasing it. Run your own race. THE PACER Lock onto one level's exact speed and drill it until your legs know it cold. You get more efficient and build your cardio at the same time, which is how your beep test score climbs faster. A COACH WITH ATTITUDE Meet the skull. He's an extreme dude, built to get you fired up. Too much? Dial his personality back to Soft, or switch him off entirely. Strong language is optional. FIND YOUR GOAL Entry standards for most Australian police, fire and Defence roles are built in, with a growing library of specialist standards. Standards change, so always confirm the current one with the agency. SHOW OFF THE WIN Smashed it? Turn your level, distance and time into a share card over your own photo or video, and post it straight to your story. GET THE COURSE RIGHT The app shows you how to measure out a true 20 m course, or find one on the sporting fields and courts you already have nearby. No account. No sign-up. No ads. Your results stay on your phone. BEFORE YOU START The beep test is a maximal fitness test: it is designed to be run until you cannot keep up. It is demanding. Consult a doctor before undertaking strenuous exercise, particularly if you have a heart or respiratory condition, an injury or have not exercised recently. Warm up first, run on a flat non-slip surface, and stop immediately if you feel dizzy, faint, unwell or in pain. This app is a training aid. It is not medical advice, it does not assess your fitness to take part, and it is not a substitute for the official assessment conducted by a recruiting agency. Before the Beep is not affiliated with or endorsed by any police, fire, ambulance or Defence organisation. XTREME MODE Your first test is free. After that, Xtreme Mode unlocks everything as an auto-renewing subscription: - Xtreme Monthly: renews every month - Xtreme Annual: renews every year Prices are shown in the app and may vary by country. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial where eligible. When the trial ends, the subscription starts and is charged unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions, or in the app under Settings > Xtreme Mode > Manage subscription. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
