The real problem in my opinion is people count too slowly and irregularly for a precise sync up. Better to learn from the world of music and count off

One ee and ah, two ee and ah, three ee and ah GO

You can count me in like that but I insist a full measure of Mars, Bringer of War.

This is why you have a practice count! "On three, everybody.... one, two, three!"

"Okay, got that? Here we go: one, two... three!"
