How do micro plates help break training plateaus?
Standard 2.5kg or 5lb jumps are often too heavy for linear progression. Our micro plates allow for "fractional loading" (increases as small as 0.25kg), allowing you to sustain progressive overload and break through strength plateaus without compromising form.
Why use heel wedges for squats?
Heel wedges alter biomechanics by reducing the ankle dorsiflexion required to reach depth. This allows for deeper squats with a more upright torso, placing greater emphasis on the quadriceps and protecting the lower back.
How does the Smart Load Pin upgrade cable workouts?
Standard cable stacks often have large 5kg or 10lb jumps, stalling progress on isolation exercises. The Smart Load Pin inserts into the stack, allowing you to add external micro plates. This bridges the gap between heavy jumps for smoother progressive overload.
What is the advantage of the 0.5kg Titan Pin?
The Titan Pin is precision-machined to weigh exactly 0.5kg on its own. This means the pin itself acts as your first micro-load. You can instantly add 0.5kg to your lift just by inserting the pin, even before loading additional fractional plates onto it.
Will these pins fit my gym's machines?
Yes. Both the Smart Load and Titan Pins are engineered to fit standard selectorized weight stacks (common in commercial and home gyms). They are designed to sit securely in the stack, ensuring your equipment never limits your performance.
