The Power Pin is Get RXd’s take on a loadable strongman pin: a powder-coated steel implement that accepts standard 2” Olympic plates and locks the load in place with a quick-release pin, letting lifters change the pin’s height to target squats, deadlift variations, and loaded carries from different angles. At 14 lbs, it’s a lightweight accessory rather than a rack-mounted fixture, and its main appeal versus rivals like the MBPC Power Pin is price – GymRadar owners rate its value the highest of any tracked category. The tradeoff is brand recognition and verification: it comes from a smaller, less-established maker, and only a handful of owner reviews exist to back up the build.

What is a Strongman?

Strongman equipment trains raw, functional strength through odd-object lifting, carrying, and loading — atlas stones, yokes, farmer’s handles, sleds, logs, and tires — rather than the fixed, balanced resistance of a barbell. It’s a fit for lifters who’ve plateaued on conventional strength training and want to build the grip, bracing, and full-body coordination that competition strongman and functional fitness demand, or who simply want the most direct training carryover to real-world lifting and carrying tasks. Most pieces are bulky and some (tires, natural stones) are sourced or repurposed rather than bought outright, so plan for storage space and, in a few cases, DIY sourcing as part of owning this equipment.

The Power Pin is a budget-friendly loading pin for pin squats, deadlift variations, and loaded carries, built from powder-coated steel and sized for standard 2” Olympic plates with a quick-release pin for height adjustment. The small pool of GymRadar owners rates value highest (5.00/5) given its lower price versus established rivals like the MBPC Power Pin, while functionality is the weakest of the tracked categories (4.25/5) – still solid, but not standout. The biggest gap is independent verification: with only 4 GymRadar reviews and no editorial or video review found anywhere, this reputation should be read as promising but lightly tested rather than thoroughly vetted.

  • +Value: priced well below established rivals, and GymRadar owners rate value 5.00/5 -- the highest of the three tracked categories (GymRadar)
  • +Build quality: powder-coated steel construction rated 4.50/5 by owners (GymRadar)
  • +Functionality: accepts standard 2" Olympic plates with a quick-release pin for fast height changes across pin squats, deadlift variations, and carries (Get RXd manufacturer page)
  • +Versatility: one implement covers several movement patterns and loading angles rather than a single fixed exercise (Get RXd manufacturer page)
  • Functionality: rated the lowest of GymRadar's three tracked categories at 4.25/5, though still a positive score (GymRadar)
  • Build quality: flagged as a lesser-known brand relative to established power pin makers in a head-to-head comparison (Gym Gear Finder)
  • Durability: no independent long-term durability reporting exists -- no editorial review or YouTube demonstration was found for this product
  • Value: the rating is based on just 4 GymRadar reviews from 4 gyms, right at the minimum sample size worth citing -- too thin to treat as conclusive
