Onyx Engineered Drop Set Pins

Our Very Own Onyx Engineered Drop Set Pins Get an insane pump like you never have had before! Introducing drop set pins, the solution to getting the most out of your drop set. Drop set pins allow you to keep lifting throughout the whole drop set without having to break muscle tension. The pump using these is like none you have ever felt before. How do drop-set pins work? Drop set pins are self-ejecting weight stack pins, when tension on the drop-set pin is reduced it will eject itself from the weight stack. To set a machine up for drop set performance with drop-set pins you insert a pin into the weight stack in the plate that represents your heaviest weight or starting weight for the set, then you place the normal weight stack pin into the load you want to use for the lighter “drop set”. The only moment that the exercise is commenced the drop set pin is locked in via a spring mechanism and it remains in position holding your heaviest load throughout the first set until the stack you're lifting firmly touches the resting plates on the stack, it is here that the reduction in tension on the drop-set pin activates its spring mechanism to eject itself from the stack. This leaves you with the lighter load held in place by the standard weight stack selector pin immediately ready for use in the drop set. This product is sold as a pair a a double-drop set can also be setup. Drop-set pin 1 provides heaviest loading, when this is ejected drop-set pin 2 provides a lower load, when this is ejected the normal pin provides the third and lightest level of loading. Equipment considerations Performance Pins are designed to be used with selectorized equipment that uses a +3/8″ diameter stack pin. There needs to be two feet of free space directly in front of face of the weight stack for the Performance Pin to eject into. If the machines you intend to use the Performance Pins with have shields that cover part of the stack, you must make sure there is adequate space for the width of the Performance Pin through the entire range of motion. What are drop sets? A drop set refers to the technique where an exercise is performed with a given load as per usual. However instead of finishing the exercise when the targeted musculature has reached MMF in the initial set, the weight is reduced by approximately 10-25% as quickly as possible and the trainee continues to perform the exercise with this reduced load. The person exercising will usually be able to achieve an additional 1-4 repetitions with the lighter load.
