Hinge Movement
kBox & kPulley
Hinge
The hinge movement pattern involves exercises such as the deadlift, Romanian deadlift, and any form of pick-ups, where you essentially move your glutes back, lean your torso forward and maintain a neutral spine. The biggest muscle groups in this pattern are the posterior chain which includes hamstrings, back, and glutes.
Deadlift
The deadlift, for example, is an important drill for building strength in the posterior chain and a great exercise for overall strength and power and can be performed in many different settings and variations. The kBox and the eccentric retraction of the flywheel are used for effective deadlift exercises by a wide range of athletes, clients, and fitness enthusiasts.
The benefits of doing deadlift variations on the kBox are the possibility to limit the depth of the exercise to ensure safe execution. Since you don’t lift any weights you can always stop pulling if you feel pain without having to drop the weights on the floor. When doing a kBox deadlift, we recommend an extended range of motion in the top position, which will allow you to regain the momentum in the eccentric phase even better.
Hip Extension
An example of a hinge movement is the unilateral hip extension on the kBox and the kPulley which gives your glutes a day they will remember. Suitable for rehabilitation, performance, and fitness to increase overall hip strength and activation of the glutes muscles. The hip extension targets the glutes in a controlled and effective way which makes it beneficial when performing eccentric overload training.
The benefits of doing a hip extension and flexion on the kBox are the ability to load the exercise more than if performed on any other training equipment. Use delayed eccentric action targeting the horizontal drive phase in sprinting or assisted concentric for further eccentric overload.
Variations
Variations are performed with either one or two feet, using the kBar or kGrips with single or dual-hand. The versatility makes it easy to shift focus from heavy on the hamstring and hip extension to core muscles or make you go from a heavy and powerful drill into a complex more technically demanding drill, all depending on your aim.
