Ep. 10: All Things Flywheel Training w/ Exxentric CEO Fredrik Correa
In episode 10, I got to catch up with the CEO and Co-Founder of Exxentric, Fredrik Correa. Exxentric is the leader in flywheel training and I’m an avid user of their legendary kBox device, so this was such a fun episode for me!
Fredrik is also an athlete himself, competing at the highest level of master’s powerlifting, so we talked a ton about training. We spent a lot of time discussing how the company was started back in 2011, what lead him into the flywheel training space after a 10 year medical career and all the in’s and out’s of flywheel training for coaches & athletes to get the most out of their methods.
After learning more about Fredrik and his background story, we dove in on the science and art of flywheel training. Topics such as:
The differences between gravity and inertia training.
How do flywheels actually work?
Programming and exercise selection tips.
Who can benefit from flywheels?
What is eccentric overload?
What metrics are most valuable in flywheel training?
We answer all of these questions at a pretty deep level during our conversation, and much more!
Fredrik also goes into detail on best practices for using flywheel training for various reasons and training goals, especially basketball athletes with long levers, unique frames and typically a jaded view of the weight room.
This is a long conversation and I’m super thankful for the time he spent truly breaking all of this down! Make sure you listen below and follow Fredrik on all social platforms!
