Gods Of Grip
Universal Olympic Loading Pin
Choose options
Our Universal Olympic Loading Pin combines the versatility of a traditional loading pin with a specialised open-top locking system, allowing you to train with both universal-style grip attachments and conventional carabiner-mounted grip tools.
Designed primarily for interchangeable locking attachments such as GripTopz, the open-top design allows compatible implements to slot directly into the loading tube and be secured using the included removable locking pin.
Not using a universal attachment? No problem. The locking pin can also provide an attachment point for a suitable carabiner, allowing you to connect traditional grip training implements without needing a separate loading pin.
Standing at 380mm (15") tall, with a 50mm Olympic sleeve for standard 2-inch Olympic weight plates, it's a versatile choice for everyday grip strength training, maximum lifts and competition preparation.
Like our other premium loading pins, the Universal features a precision laser-cut steel base with the weld positioned underneath. This creates a flat upper surface, allowing weight plates to sit flush against the base for a cleaner, more stable loading experience.
Designed and manufactured by Gods of Grip in the UK, each loading pin features our signature GripLock™ textured finish, vibrant yellow branding and heavy-duty steel construction.

Compatible Grip Tools & Attachments
The Universal Olympic Loading Pin is especially suited to universal locking attachments, including compatible tools from the GripTopz range.
Explore our GripTopz Gold Bar Pinch Lift Top for pinch strength, the GripTopz Fence Post for vertical supporting grip, or the GripTopz Half Penny for key pinch and finger strength.
For traditional grip training, a suitable carabiner can also be connected to the locking pin, allowing you to use implements such as our Pinch Block Grip Training Tool, Hub Grip Trainer or Godlike Rolling Handle.
Important: Always check attachment compatibility and ensure the carabiner connects securely to the load-bearing locking pin, rather than relying on its retaining ring.
Universal or Standard Olympic Loading Pin?
Our Universal model offers two attachment options, making it particularly useful for athletes who regularly switch between locking-style and traditional grip implements.
If you only use conventional carabiner-mounted equipment, our Standard Olympic Loading Pin features a dedicated attachment lug and may be the simpler option.
Whether you're training with specialist GripTopz attachments or everyday grip implements, the Universal Olympic Loading Pin provides a durable and adaptable foundation for serious grip strength training.
Please note that repeated contact with steel weight plates may eventually mark the textured coating. This is normal cosmetic wear and does not affect the loading pin's performance.
