Lifeline SKLZ Chrome Power Pushup User manual

Meet Jon Hinds
This product was developed under the guidance of fitness expert and
professional trainer Jon Hinds, CSCS, CPT. Jon has helped everyone
from professional athletes to fitness novices increase their strength,
power, balance and endurance with functional fitness.
What is functional fitness?
Functional fitness is the cutting-edge training approach
elite athletes are using to increase performance and
prevent injury. While standard training methods isolate
muscles, functional fitness training techniques develop
balanced, efficient muscles for extraordinary results.
Lifeline functional fitness products are the same
professional grade, premium quality tools that leading
athletes use to improve their performance. And each
one comes with an easy-to-follow training guide led by a functional fitness expert. Whether
you’re looking to improve your athletic performance or looking to improve your overall
strength and physique, the program that works for the pros will work for you.

Blast your upper body and core with the
Lifeline Power Pushup™ .
If you think push-ups are effective, wait until you try them with the added intensity of the
Lifeline Power Pushup™
. With a total of 12 cable pockets, it offers the flexibility to adjust
your resistance anywhere between 40 and 180 lbs., making it appropriate for all fitness
levels. In addition to traditional push-ups and dips, the Power Pushup can be used to add
intensity to lunges, arm rows, rear deltoid flies and much, much more. Let’s get started!
The Power Pushup includes:
A. Six 9-inch cables (30 lbs. peak resistance each)
B. Two 3-in-1 cable pocket handles
C. One padded back strap
D. Four 3-in-1 cable pockets on strap

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Lifeline’s patented Power Pushup comes with triple cable pockets that offer multiple
resistance levels.
Controlling resistance levels
Each Power Pushup cable will deliver about 30 lbs. of resistance when placed in the cable
pocket closest to the middle of the back pad. When placed in the pocket closest to the
end of the pad the same cable will provide about 20 lbs. of resistance. Resistances vary
depending on the length of your arms.
To remove cables and reduce resistance
1. Lay the Power Pushup flat on the ground so the pad is down and the plastic pockets
are up.
2. Slide the plugged end of the cable out from the pocket it was in.
3. Stretch and lift the cable out through the cable pocket channel. (Stretching it first makes
it easier to fit through the channel.)
4. Repeat steps on the other end of the cable with the handle.
To add cables and increase resistance
1. Grip the loose cable you wish to add with both hands. We suggest you start with your
hands together—thumbs touching.
2. Separate your hands so you stretch (and thin out) a small length of cable several inches.
3. Push the now thin stretched length of cable through the channel in the cable pocket and
carefully release the cable.
4. Slide cable so that the plugged end of cable seats snugly into cable pocket.
5. Secure the loose end of the cable in the corresponding cable pocket attached
to the handle.
6. When using the higher resistance cable pockets (closest to the middle of the back pad)
also push the middle of the cable into the corresponding lower resistance cable pocket
channel. This keeps cables aligned with pad and increases comfort.
Note: Make sure the cables are not crossed. When stretched, the cables should not
touch each other.
7. Repeat these steps until you have your desired cable configuration.
VERY IMPORTANT
Be sure that the bottom (small opening side) of the cable pockets are
always facing each other bottom-to-bottom, as shown above.
Least
Resistance
About 20 lbs.

HOW TO USE THE POWER PUSHUP
The best way to correctly position the Power Pushup
1. Lay chest down on the ground with the
Power Pushup next to you.
2. Place the Power Pushup, pad down, on
the small of your back.
3. Slide the Power Pushup up your back
so the pad is laying on your shoulder
blades and the handles rest by your
armpits.
4. Hook your thumbs into the handles and press your palms down to the ground.Always do
your first push-up from your knees.
Note: You should always begin with the lowest resistance setting using only one
cable on each side of the Power Pushup.
5. Once you are comfortable using the Power Pushup from a kneeling position, you may
extend your legs and use the Power Pushup from your toes.
Note: It is always a good idea to do wall or non-resisted floor push-ups as part of
your warm-up before using the Power Pushup.
6. Be sure to use proper technique. Think of lengthening your body by pushing your head
one way and heels the other way.
Note: Do not use the Power Pushup on the small of your back. It should always be
placed high on your upper back only.
Once you become familiar with the proper positioning and use of the Power Pushup, you
may find it easier to place the Power Pushup on your back while standing or kneeling. Only
use this placement technique if you are able to easily stretch the bands so you can reach
the ground from a kneeling position. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Important points to remember
1. Always be sure to consult a physician before starting any exercise program.
2. Before using the Power Pushup, first adapt your body to similar movements, first
standing against a wall and then down on the floor.
3. Focus on keeping your head, neck, back and legs in a straight line. If you cannot
maintain this posture, reduce the resistance or do non-resisted push-ups until you can.
4. For best results, do slow and controlled push-ups.
