Strength Matters ⚙️

Chris takes the stage today at the Australian Athletics Coaches Conference to break down the science and practical application of Flywheel Resistance Training (FRT) for athletic performance!
Whether you coach sprinters, distance runners, or multi-directional sport athletes, flywheel technology provides a dynamic, gravity-independent stimulus that traditional weight training cannot replicate.

Here is a quick breakdown of what Chris is covering in today’s session:
 Ballistic Force Profiles & Eccentric Overload Unlike standard weights, flywheel systems utilize rotational inertia (I = m \cdot r^2) to store kinetic energy during concentric acceleration and return it as intense eccentric overload—simulating dynamic force profiles without high joint impacts.
📊 Proven Transfers to Running Performance Learn how flywheel loading directly enhances performance on the track, backed by research showing gains in running economy, jumping power, sprint capabilities, and overall endurance.
🛑 Deceleration, Braking & Injury Resilience Rapid horizontal deceleration requires absorbing extreme braking forces. Chris will highlight strategies for leveraging eccentric loading to build muscular stiffness and protect against hamstring strains, Achilles issues, and joint overload.
🔄 Autoregulation & Safe Loading Mechanics Because resistance dynamically auto-adjusts to match output on every single rep, athletes avoid traditional “sticking regions” and fatigue safely. Harness options also unload the spine, making high-intensity strength work accessible for athletes of all levels.
🏟️ Trackside Portability & High-Density Training Discover how portable, lightweight flywheel platforms let coaches deliver high-density strength, post-activation potentiation (PAP), and in-season maintenance directly on the track or field.

If you’re attending today, or would like Chris to attend your conference or organisation for a Flywheel workshop make sure to with Chris afterward to discuss bringing research-backed flywheel protocols to your athletes! 🙌

The Exxentric Flywheel system makes up one of the key components of training at PrimalThenics. 🦍 
.
There are few people in the world that know this piece of equipment better than Chris - and in this video he is sharing a valuable morsel of his knowledge with his trainers, who are then able to pass it on to you - our awesome members. 
.
By allowing increased load through the eccentric phase of the movement, scaled by your own effort, flywheels like this are an incredibly efficient way to build protective muscle. 💪🏼

☀️ Last week Chris had the fantastic opportunity to run an in house workshop at the Gold Coast Suns. 
⚙️The Exxentric flywheel is an absolute must for professional sporting teams. Its ability to traverse the domains of rehab and high performance are a unique benefit not available with other equipment.
💪🏼As one of only a limited few Master trainers in the world, Chris offers an exceptional opportunity for local sporting teams and professional gyms to enhance their athletic offerings. 
Additionally, PrimalThenics are the only licensed distributors and Fywheel educators in Australia and NZ. by @flywheeltraining.au

Every workout. Every set. Every rep. 🏊‍♂️🔥

Our elite youth swimmers are locked in on the road to Nationals, and the flywheel is a big part of how they’re getting ready.

Why flywheels? 👇

⚙️ Resistance that matches effort. The harder they pull, the more resistance they feel. Every rep is a max-intent rep, with no weight stack to hide behind.

🔁 Eccentric overload. As the flywheel recoils, athletes have to brake and control it. That builds strength and control through the full range of motion, which supports the shoulders and joints that take a beating in the pool.

🏊 Swim-specific training. Pulling patterns, core stability, and powerful hip and shoulder drive can all be trained in ways that carry over to the water.

⏱️ Efficient and scalable. Big training stimulus in a small footprint, with intensity easily adjusted for each athlete.

Strong, resilient, and powerful swimmers aren’t built by accident. They’re built one rep at a time. 💪 taken in Newmarket Pool by @flywheeltraining.au

⚙️Flywheel training = embrace the resistance. 
-Unlike traditional weights, flywheels create variable resistance through inertia — the force you get out is directly proportional to the effort you put in. No sticking points, no dead zones, just constant tension through the entire rep. And as you can see - it cooks your muscles in the best possible way. 
In this clip: split squats on the K-Box, targeting unilateral strength, hip stability, and eccentric control - the exact loading pattern that builds resilient knees and reduces injury risk.
Why we love it:
Safe - self-regulating resistance means the load never exceeds what your body generates.
No spotter needed, no risk of getting crushed under a bar.
• Effective - the eccentric overload (that controlled “braking” phase) is where real strength and muscle adaptation happens — something traditional weights can’t replicate.
Efficient - full mind-muscle engagement rep after rep, working stabilizers most machines ignore.
This is smart training - a device that works with your body, not against your joints.

🏊‍♀️ Our young Lilla recently broke the Jnr Pan Pacs 100m breaststroke record and came away as female swimmer of the meet with 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze. One of her great attributes as a breaststroker is how much water she can hold in her pull.
🥇 
How do you build a more explosive breaststroke pull without adding heavy barbell loads? 
🏊‍♂️🏼⚡ 
​Here is the exact 8-week kinetic progress of a competitive swimmer performing the Exxentric chest press pattern: 
📊 May 28 ➡️ July 30 Breakdown:
• Average Force: 316 N ➡️ 398 N (+26% gain)
• Average Power: 109 W ➡️ 133 W (+22% increase)
• Concentric Peak Power: 173 W ➡️ 200 W (+15.6% peak push)
• Relative Peak Power: 2.1 W/kg ➡️ 2.4 W/kg
• Total Exxentric Score: 423 p ➡️ 596 p (+40.9% overall output)
​🏊‍♀️ 
Why this transfers to the pool:
In breaststroke, force production during the upper-body pull and chest press pattern directly determines how much water an athlete can move. 
​Because Exxentric devices use isoinertial variable resistance, the load dynamically adjusts to the athlete’s maximal force through the entire range of motion. As neural adaptation and rate of force development (RFD) improve, the athlete accelerates the flywheel faster, resulting in greater force and higher kinetic energy output. 
​More kinetic force in the gym = a stronger, more explosive press through the water. 
💪🏼
Data doesn’t lie. Smart kinetic training leads to faster split times.

The seated overhead triceps extension, set up on the Exxentric kBox.
​By shifting the movement overhead, we place the long head of the triceps into a deep, loaded stretch. Performing this pattern with flywheel technology changes the mechanics entirely. Because the kBox responds directly to the force you generate, the resistance remains constant and smooth throughout the entire range of motion, rather than dropping off at the top or bottom like traditional weights.
​Using the Exxentric app, we track live performance metrics to monitor output and ensure intent stays high. The real value happens during the eccentric phase—the downward motion—where your muscles are forced to control and decelerate the momentum generated by the wheel.
​At PrimalThenics, we use these data-driven variations to build upper-body structural strength, support elbow health, and ensure your body is as resilient as it is functional.
​If you’d like to see how we integrate flywheel training into our programming, feel free to drop a line or ask us about it during your next session at the studio.
