Charging Your PUSH Band

To charge your PUSH Band, begin by opening the rubber door at the bottom of the device to reveal the charging port.

Next, insert the Micro USB adapter into the PUSH Band and connect it to a laptop or USB-to-wall connector.

Charge your PUSH Band until the light turns green, indicating the battery is fully charged.


See below for the various colors and their corresponding indication.

Download the PUSH Pro Application

The PUSH Pro Application is available for select iOS and Android devices.

How to Turn Your PUSH Band On and Off

Once your PUSH Band is charged, press and hold down the power button along the top to turn on the PUSH Band. The indicator light will start flashing blue as it looks for a iOS or Android device to connect to via Bluetooth.

To turn your PUSH Band off, hold down the power button on top of the PUSH Band until the indicator light turns off.

How to Pair Your PUSH Band to an iOS or Android Device

Open the PUSH Pro application and select the PUSH Band icon on the top right-hand corner.

Selecting 'Pair Band' will cause the PUSH Pro application to scan for all PUSH Bands in range.

Once a PUSH Band has been successfully paired, the PUSH Pro application will display 'Band Connected', and cause the PUSH Band's light to change from flashing to solid blue.

Select 'Done' to return to the previous screen.

NOTE: The PUSH Band can only be connected to one device at a time so if the Band's light is solid blue, it means it's already connected to a device.

Toggle Between Body and Bar Mode

The PUSH Band can be worn on the users' body in the Arm Strap or Waist Belt as well as attached to the barbell within the Bar Sleeve.

Depending on the user's preference or circumstance, they may need to toggle between both Bar and Body Mode.

To change these modes, select the Band icon in the top right-hand corner and select either 'Body Mode' or 'Bar Mode'.


NOTE: the PUSH Pro Application is able to detect the orientation of the PUSH Band in space and determine if the wrong mode has been selected.

If this occurs, the user will be notified following the set.

When using the PUSH Band in Body Mode our algorithms require the light to be pointing upwards, towards the top of your body (e.g. towards your elbow if using the Arm Strap, or towards your head when using the Waist Belt).

The PUSH Band may not track your movement properly if it is worn with the light facing upside down.

The PUSH Band can be worn on either arm. For the vast majority of exercises, you should wear the PUSH Band on the top of the forearm, just below the elbow. The strap should be tight, but comfortable!

UPPER FOREARM

For the majority of exercises place the PUSH Band on the upper forearm, with the light facing away from the hand.

BACK

For jumps in Test Mode and Free Movement, place the PUSH Band firmly on your athlete's lower back just above the tailbone. To do this use the PUSH Jump Waist Belt, and ensure that the light is facing upwards towards the head for optimal data collection and accuracy.

LOWER BICEPS

For bodyweight and some resistance exercises, the PUSH Band is worn on the lower biceps. Please ensure that the unit is worn so that the light faces away from the hand.

9. Which Exercises Does the PUSH Band Track?

The PUSH Band tracks over 400+ exercises. This list includes:

  • Trackable exercises

  • Manually trackable exercises

To get the most out of your training, we have created a database of exercises that our PUSH Band will help you track automatically. For exercises that we don't automatically track, you can manually log the number of reps you performed.

We are continuously adding more exercises to our database.
