I use it as a quick reference when I'm at the gym and having doubts about my form.

What resources do you use?

Previously, I've just done a web image search to find a diagram of the motion, and then practice that enough times to commit it to memory. But for introducing new exercises, that's a nice resource there, all in one place.

For form checks, I set up a tripod and have my phone record the motion, then pass the video to my weightlifting friends for their opinions. I'm aware that doing this in a commercial gym might look like I'm filming an Instagram video, but: 1) gainz come first, and 2) homegym lol

Home gym gang! Filming lifts is invaluable IMHO.
