FEATURES OF THE KBOX (cont.) 

 

 

Mobility (cont.)

 

mats, racks for the weights, assisting personal or training partners to be 
able  to  do  1  RM  (Maximal  repetitions).    All  this  is  possible  with  the 
kBox  which  weighs  about  25  kg  (55  lb.)  with  the  flywheels  included 
and it can be easily carried and transported in an ordinary car. 

 

 

Ergonomics 

 

Pressure over the shoulders is one limiting factor for many when doing 
traditional barbell squats.  Serious bruising can be seen after heavy sets. 
Furthermore, the lumbar spine discs are under a lot of pressure, even if 
the athlete has good technique.  With tall people, people with a weak 
core,  or  with  back  problems,  squatting  is  almost  impossible  or 
accompanied with a lot of discomfort or pain. With the kBox you are 
able  to  work  out  maximally  or  closer  to  maximum  intensity  since  the 
harness  equalizes  the  pressure  over  the  shoulders  and  reduces  the 
pressure on the lumbar spine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Work Environment 

The  kBox  is  quieter  when  training.    The  area  doesn’t  have  to  be 
equipped with sound reducing materials. There is a much lower risk of 
collision so that more people can work out in a smaller room without 
interfering with each other’s workout.
