Exxentric kGrips
The Exxentric kGrip is an essential accessory to any flywheel device. It is comfortable, versatile, durable, light and aesthetical
The kGrip weights only 105 grams (about 0.2 lbs), avoiding wasting unneccessary energy on defying gravity like with a heavy iron grip. This transfers more energy into the flywheel for use in the eccentric phase. Also being able to adjust angles through the motions is very beneficial.
Its coating is designed to be highly comfortable, and top materials are selected for optimal durability.
The kGrip is perfect for many different pulling exercises like straight-arm lifts, hammer curls, deadlifts, high pull and row. Do the exercise using both grips with maximal effort and power or in single version for balance like in single-hand RDL or for rotational strength like in a single hand row. It is a typical accessory to any kBox system, but it can be used also for traditional weight training.

Flywheel Training
Supported by scientific evidence, Flywheel training increases the effectiveness of your strength training by applying the inertia of a flywheel instead of simple gravity to create optimal resistance. Here's how it works: Whether your goal is to improve athletic performance, prevent or rehabilitate an injury or improve your general health and fitness, flywheel training and the kBox training device offers a number of important advantages.
Methods & Exercises
The kBox gives you opportunities to perform effective standard exercises as well as advanced methods for eccentric, concentric and isometric training.
Applications
The Exxentric kBox is being used by athletes and therapists for a wide range of flywheel training applications. Understand the benefits in your field.
Physical Principles
With flywheel training (also known as isoinertial or yoyo) instead of lifting a weight against gravity, you accelerate or decelerate a flywheel. This way, the force required in each motion is variable as it is based on the inertia and the kinetic energy of the flywheel.
Physiological Advantages
Flywheel training offers many advantages over traditional strength training. The resistance is variable and unlimited. Eccentric overload can easily be achieved as well as mobility, ergonomy and economy.
Scientific Evidence
Multiple academic studies have provided support for flywheel training in recent years. We present a selection of some of the more important studies in the field.
{tab Applications}
The Exxentric kBox is being used by athletes and patients for a wide range of flywheel training applications. To understand the benefits in your field, please select your main field below.
Performance Sport
The kBox had its initial break-through in performance sports, where it is widely used by elite coaches in football, sprinting, skiing, and more.
Health & Fitness
In recent years, personal trainers have discovered what flywheel training and a kBox investment can do for businesses in Health & Fitness.
Rehabilitation
The kBox has been embraced also by physiology clinicians for efficient rehabilitation of clients with many types of diagnoses.
{tab Training Exercises}
The kBox gives you infinite opportunities for effective exercise. Here are some of the best flywheel training exercises you can do with the kBox. Don't let gravity hold you down. Ever.
Squat
The king of exercises. Performed with the Exxentric harness to give ergonomic benefits and maximal strength development and results even if the technique is not perfect. It is a great workout for all of the lower body.
Split squat
One drill we know many of our users do in many variations and under different names, Bulgarian split squat or Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat (RFESS). This exercise targets Gluteus and Hamstring more and Quadriceps less than a regular back squat.
Lateral squat
Gives enhanced performance in running, jumping, sprint, skiing and skating. Activates the gluteal muscles to an extent that is impossible to achieve with traditional weights. It is a very good drill to activate gluteus medius and also prevent injuries to the ACL. Read more
Lunge
Without losing the edge of balance and postural training, this exercise really boosts your force development in the lower body.
Hip extension
An underused exercise that really targets the upper hamstrings. Suitable for both rehabilitation and performance. Read more
Single leg RDL
If you want to really load a single leg RDL (Romanian Deadlift), the kBox version is your choice. Try variations using contra- or ipsilateral arm and feel the difference in the working leg and the core. The variable resistance will give you a smooth and hard contraction all over the range of motion.
Deadlift
It could be a regular deadlift or stiff-legged deadlift. The experience of the eccentric phase in the kBoxDeadlift will be new for most people. A nice exercise for lower back and hamstrings.
High pull
Can be a total body workout on the kBox thanks to the variable resistance and eccentric overload. Kick in with the legs and the eccentric phase will kick you back. Works deltoids, trapezius and arms in the regular setting and most of your upper body and core in the CLAC overload setting.
Biceps curl
With the Exxentric ultra light bar, this will be your new favorite exercise. Forget giving the biceps 12 sets in the gym. The kBox will do the work in 3 maximal sets with eccentric overload. Read more
Triceps extension / over-head press
Slow and heavy with high force development with some core strength added. Perfect for a basic exercise to build strength and power in more complex exercises.
Bent-over row
After a couple of sets of rowing with eccentric overload you won't be able to go back to the traditional weights. It is a heavy exercise but still with a lot of power and motion, especially in the eccentric phase. It strengthens upper and lower back, shoulders and arms. Read more
