I guess what's working is giving a physical signal that control has begun and I'm counting. Any suggestions for how to convey that differently from a stroke of the counting arm.

Start your count when you reach a second. Coaches count our signals so do not be so sure.
I used to do what you are advocating a long time ago and I was told to stop. Would you do the same thing during your 5 second count? You do not need to convince anyone your count has started. Keep it simple and leave your mechanics as the explanation. If you have to come back and explain, that could lead to other conversations you might not want to have.
