# Wrong rep beside right rep, side by side

A sports and outdoors format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/sports-and-outdoors/wrong-rep-beside-right-rep-side-by-side

Put a bad version and a good version of the same movement next to each other in one frame, labeled with ❌ and ✅. It worked for 7 accounts, with a median of 10x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head, Video.

## Why it works

Viewers see the mechanical difference in the first second, with no audio or explanation needed. It also invites a replay to spot the details, as in the hoopwsean and ianjenkins_hitting posts.

## How to make it

1. Film the wrong and right version from the same angle
2. Stack or split them in one frame with ❌/✅ or Bad/Good labels
3. Replay at full speed, then slow-mo
4. Put the technical explanation in the caption

## Hook formula

❌ [wrong technique] vs ✅ [right technique]

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
