Other/Mixed Deadlifting with Loading Pin

[Waffles03]

Has anyone deadlift with a loading pin (or T handle) before and if so, did you enjoy using them as an assistance exercise?

I'm debating on buying a loading pin from Iron Mind to add variety to my training regiment and I'm curious to hear your guys' response. Thank you.

Here's a pic of Rogue Fitness Power pin in case if your not sure what's a loading pin is.

I'd say buy it (the ironmind one).

single arm deadlifts, rows, farmer walks,

get a basic cable handle and you're set

@Waffles03, that's usually used for swings, not deadlifts, no?

Now if you attach a Rolling Thunder handle to the loading pin, then you have a pretty reasonable grip tool...

The Hungarian Core Blaster is a useful tool. Do heavy Duck Walks with it and you will feel it for a few days. For Sumo Deadlifter Duck Walks would transfer well.

I never have, but it looks interesting. Not so sure about deadlifting with it, but odd carries would work great.

The power pin looks cool too:

It depends on which brand you purchase. For example, Rogue Fitness states that their Power Pin is used only for any variations of deadlifting and not for swings.

Rogue must have different versions, I have the loading pin and the top is a flange with hole for carabiner/attachments.

Titan sells a loading pin for like $20......but Titan
