Barbell Pad for Squats, Lunges and Hip thrusts Great for Squats, Lunges, Hip Thrusts, Weight Lifting & More - Fit Standard and Olympic Bars Perfectly

The pad is made of appropriately firm closed-cell foam that is capable of distributing the load of a heavy lift bar from your shoulders (or other body part if you use circuits that include hip lifts, etc.). It does have straps to cinch it down around the barbell bar, but I would guess that most lifters in the middle of a circuit would bypass that step. Most will probably just opt to place the pad with the split opening up, and tweak the position in between lifts if it rotates.In that respect, it's going to work better for heavier, slower reps, rather than any more "explosive" weight lifting you might do, since that could unweight the bar, allowing the pad to rotate. But even then, the worst case scenario is that the bare bar is back on your shoulders, which is where you started out anyway, right?

It is perfect for those who want to squat but do not want the pain of the bar on the shoulders. It perfectly fits an Olympic sized barbell and fits very comfortably across the shoulders and back.Makes it a pleasure to do squats. OK, yeah, if you do squats right they can never be a pleasure, but it removes the wrong kind of pain from squatting. :)

Four stars because the color is off from the advertising. Hate to be a whiner but that's my only whoa. Ad made it look like a much brighter, vibrant green coloring and what arrived at my door is more of an Army/olive. Again, not a huge deal breaker but it is a little disappointing.Other than the color, this is a great barbell squat/hip thruster pad. Made of thick foam that cushions your shoulders and comes with two velcro straps to secure it. The inside of the pad is smooth, so the pad will "spin/roll" on your bar if you don't cinch it down tight. Other than that, though.... it works great!!

Yea, the squat foam is pink... I didn't mind the color but the function of the foam is great. It's way better than having a hard metal bar on the shoulder. I didn't have any issues with this product.

WOW!, I should have got this a long time ago. I mean it really helps my shoulders from not hurting and protects the back of my head from my occasional head smack. This is thick and fits perfect on my standard weight bar. I use it for squats and calf strengthening. It's a welcome collection to my personal gym.

This barbell pad is pretty comfortable and works well. I did have trouble with it sliding off during fast squats (bodypump class), but they work great for slower, heavier reps.

The media could not be loaded. Very soft and supportive.Fits well on the bar.Additional Velcro straps can be added to hold the pad in place.Easy to install and remove.Product is well made and feels very durable.All at an excellent price point!
