FAQ

Q. My gym's machines have pins, why do I need this?

A. Standard machine pins  secure a weight selection until you decide to manually change it, that's all.

Performance pin was designed to work with the standard machine pin by securing a weight selection and automatically changing it to your next pre-selected selection at your command.

​

Q.  I  want to get stronger, why would I decrease the weight?

A. With the proper weight selection, there will come a time in your set when additional motion is impossible, requiring a "spot" (which is a decrease of the resistance) but you are totally dependent on your "spotter" or trainer. PERFORMANCE PIN WILL "spot"  instantly to your next pre-selected weight allowing the most intense workouts possible.

​

Q. Why can't I set performance pin in the next weight, why the space?

A. One empty slot is required for  Performance Pin to function.  also you will find in use, one space of a decrease is not great enough to overcome the loss of strength from the heavier repetitions.

​

Q. Can I attach performance pin to the machine so I don't lose them?

A. NO! Performance Pin is designed to be completely portable, requiring no modification or attachment to anything so do not attempt.

​

Q. Can I  move faster than the recommended speed of 2 second positive; 1 second pause; 4 second negative.

A. This is a recommended guideline for safe resistance training, if you cannot maintain smooth deliberate movement of resistance while training; Don't use Performance Pin!  Proper function requires constant tension, rapid jerky movements load and and unload equipment and muscles, greatly increasing the likeylhood of injury . Never sacrifice form for increased weight, this is potentially dangerous.

​

Q. My gym's machines don't match the size requirements, are there other sizes?

A. Please contact sales, once we obtain specifications, a PERFORMANCE PIN set MAY BE ABLE TO BE CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR SPECIFICATIONS.
