In the world of strength training, the debate between free weights and machines is a constant. But what if you could harness the safety and targeted focus of a machine with the simple, intuitive feel of free weights? Enter pin loaded machines, the cornerstone of any serious strength facility. At Custom Gym Equipment, we specialize in these robust and user-friendly machines, designed to deliver unparalleled results for lifters of all levels.
What Are Pin Loaded Machines?
A pin-loaded machine uses a stack of weight plates connected by a vertical rod. Users simply insert a selector pin into the stack to choose their desired resistance. This system combines the fixed movement pattern of a machine—which protects against improper form and reduces injury risk—with the straightforward, incremental loading familiar to anyone who uses free weights. It’s the perfect bridge for beginners learning proper mechanics and a valuable tool for veterans focusing on muscle isolation.
