FEATURES   OF   THE   KBOX   (cont.) 

 

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 the flywheels 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.
