Barbell Strap usage and sensor placement

Last updated on Apr 30, 2026

To securely attach the sensor to a barbell, or other training equipment, we recommend always using the Enode Sensor package included Barbell Strap. To use, insert the sensor sideways into the provided sensor pocket.  This works identically for the Extended Strap and the Hip belt. The Extended Strap can also be used with a barbell.

 

When placing the sensor on a barbell, a central placement should always be preferred to an external placement. The advantages of this are:

  • No risk of the sensor getting caught between the barbell and hooks in a rack

  • Reduced the influence of barbell vibrations on the measurements

In general, the E on the sensor must be readable by the athlete. Consistent placement is essential for objective data.
