Our cable machines have small weights that stack on top specifically for this. I think they’re Life Fitness

[Jacob-pjgj]

I’ve done this but then it usually just falls off and everyone’s giving me bad looks lol

[gabrielelauricella]

A tip for this hack, if the weight is too big for the pin, and maybe feels unstable, insert the plate between the weight stack, like after the first weight from the top.

[bloopy]

Or you could just buy the gym and get a cable machine that has more weight ranges (not recommended)

Thank goodness I'm not the only one at my gym who does this lol

[SeanNalewanyjShorts]

Alright obviously kidding with the "top secret" part, but this tip can definitely come in handy and is something a lot of people overlook.

If you're doing a bigger compound exercise and/or the machine goes up in smaller increments then it usually won't be necessary, but on isolation movements (lateral raises, curls, triceps extensions etc.) it's an effective way to help you progress more smoothly over time if the weight stack does increase in larger jumps.

If you want to see more little tips and tricks like this that you can apply in the gym drop a like/comment to let me know 👍

This can also help the pin to jump out or even break easier.

[blackpurple]

Thanks, I didn't know I could do that, it'll be a much smoother transition with much less fatigue

[adam____________]

Doesn't every gym have the little increment 2kg weights to add on top of the stack ?!! I use them very often I thought it existed on every type of pulley system/machines

[kevinjackson]

There's little rubber weights designed to sit on top of the plate stack. Check to see if they have a decent supply of them before you sign up at the gym.

i'm so glad someone has finally put this out there !

[Rockbo]

How have I never thought of this. The answer to my current issue with preacher curl progression. Thank you Sean

[Sam-proe]

Bro I was just trying to balance a 2.5 on top of the stack, that’s great. Thanks :)

[diegorobloxyt]

My gym has small weights that are made for cable machines

[salmiakki]

I did this and it worked for the set but then the weight fell straight into my phone screen and broke it

[silentcal]

Thanks man. This will help with the 20lb jump in lat pull downs at my gym

[MatthewMurraycogswoth]

Damn that is a helpful hack I'll try that next time

[hepsima]

Great tip! I’ve never tried this before

[ryancrozier]

Another great idea is to focus more on the negative of the rep so that instead of focusing on volume of reps your focusing on time under tension.
