# Filming your sets when you lift alone

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

**Short answer**A small tripod beside the bench or rack at hip height, 45° to the side, whole body and bar in frame, and film every working set, not just the PR attempts.

* Lifters who train alone often say filming keeps them honest, like a training partner.
* Film from the same spot each week to compare form.
* Don't film other people; ask the gym first.
* Start without walking to the phone: hand signal or clap to start (Premium).
