Mobility

 

(cont.)

Further on, you do not need spotters to be able to do 1 RM

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

   

 

(Maximal repetitions). All this is possible with the kBox which

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

weighs about 22 kg (48 lbs) with one flywheel included and it can

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

be carried and transported easily in an ordinary car. The kBox

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

Lite

 

can

 

even

 

be

 

checked

 

in

 

as

 

luggage

 

when

 

flying. 

 

Ergonomics 

Pressure over the shoulders is one limiting factor for many when

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

performing 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 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

 

and

 

torque

 

on

 

the

 

lumbar

 

spine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Work

 

Environment

The kBox is quieter when training. The area does not 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 the risk of interfering with each other and inducing

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

injuries.
