Does exactly what is made for, nice foam and very comfortable for hip thrusts.
I think what would make these better wouild be if the straps were padded too and it came with 4 so I can proper lock this tight, but for speed purposes I guess 2 is good asss well. Feels soft n the neck when squatting no more neck damage thanks to this, durablilty well I’ve used foam before like this, and while its sturdy enough for now over time it will wear and tear as my yoga mat also tore and its made of the same material, this is like squijy material that stays dented over long periods of time, so eventually it will have my neck imprinted in its foamy substance.
It is also long enough, very good quality gym or home exercise kit, I personally prefer home because at the gym I have to go bare handed bare neck come on you know how it is lol.
I was a bit concerned at first that the straps on the padding would dig into my shoulders a bit when I had weight on the bar, and it would be a constant little annoyance. But they aren’t noticeable at all! As they are just thin Velcro straps, so no problem at all.
One thing I have noticed about this pad is that even after I have tightened up the straps as tight as I can, the pad still spins around on the bar. For me this isn’t a big deal, as I mainly only use the pad for squatting. And when I feel the bar rotating slightly on my back, I just use my arms more to keep it there. Maybe on an official Olympic bar which are slightly thicker (I think? not 100% sure though) it would grip the bar better, and it wouldn’t rotate around maybe. But the good side to this is that after you have finished with it, you don’t need to keep ripping the Velcro off to remove it. For me I just remove the weights from either side, take the bar of rack into a vertical position, then slide it of bar and put it back on rack.. So because I don’t have to keep ripping it on and off, I guess it will last longer for me too.
The shape of it is perfect too, it has a nice in-dent for your neck to so it feels great sitting on the bag of your neck/ back. And it is made from a nice spongy material, it doesn’t give way when your are lifting heavy. But it is soft enough that it really helps you carry the bar. Seriously other than the little rotating issue, for me I can’t fault it 5 stars, great product thank you!
This has made a big difference to my home gym. I previously used Foam Pipe Insulation as padding on my Barbell however this is the real deal. The foam pad is made of a thick dense foam and is super comfy. The velcro bands / fasteners are well made and do the job of keeping the pad in position on the barbell. For the money you really can’t go wrong with this. A must for any home gym set-up.
I’m very impressed with the quality of the product. Good finish and high amount of padding. Fits around standard bars well. Thick and soft. No more main on Shoulders and groins after work out. Stays on the bar without moving about.
I have two bum toning classes each week and the personal trainer always ends the class with 6 groups of hip thrust. I used a thick blanket between the weight bar and my groins. It helped but I could feel the bar moving up and down the protruding ASIS. Sometimes it caused bruises. Someone in the same class recommended this barbell pad. I was grateful when I first tried this game changer. It was thick and soft. Easy to install and stays without moving up and down the bar. No more concerns about the discomfort and bruises. Very useful protection pad.
his is a a good quality item, comfortable and easy to use. impressive item.
It looks just like the photo and is good at staying on the poll.
This offers my pelvis a good amount of comfort when the barbell is on it whilst doing hip thrusts. This fits my standard bar despite being designed for an Olympic bar. I’ve jsut tightened it up a bit more. So I’d imagine it fits an Olympic bar perfectly snug and secure.
The cushioning is well padded and dense and offers great protection. It’s not too slippery and doesn’t slide off my clothes. Overall I’m happy with it.
Easy to fit and extremely effective to protect yourself and your hips. Seem strong and should las
good product! Good quality and not flimsy, the bit in the middle is an added bonus. fits well on the standard bar.
I was looking for an extra bit of comfort while using my barbell for squats in my home gym and this seemed ideal.
The pad is lightweight, very comfortable, fits on securely, seems durable and is easy to get on and off of the bar.
At 9.90, which was the cost at time of writing, it’s decent value and essential as you progressively overload weight on the barbell for comfort.
5 stars.
These are the best barbell pads I’ve had, they’re really well padded and very comfortable to hold especially as my weights are increasing. Good value for the quality of these. I would definitely recommend these. They’re easy to install on my Olympic barbells
Ive been using this in my powerlifting sessions. Its very easy to use, quick to attatch/detatch. Its essentially like one the old padding pieces you would get on a bike back in the day. Fits around the barbell and just takes that harshness out of the pressure. I like it, doesnt completeley get rid of pain if you are going heavy, but does help alot more than a towell would.
his is so quick and easy to put on/take off i will be taking it to my gym class as well as using at home, it is really comfortable, no more bar digging in my neck/shoulders when doing squats at 9.90 it is worth every penny, excellent quality and no need to remove when doing other exercises
Feels superb quality & slips on the barbell easily and then comes with two straps to secure it in place.
A necessity for squats! You can also still curl the bar with this attached as isn’t too long too. No need to constantly take it off and on.
Great bit of kit, plenty of padding, without being so big that it gets in the way. I only really make use of it for squats, but leave it in place while I bench press and bicep curl, and it’s fine. the supplied straps hold it in place just fine.
It made a massive difference in the gym when I’m lifting weight. It allows me even to increase the weight as bar doesn’t case me pain any more.
It can be place on any kind of bar even when they are padded already because it’s pretty flexible, still strong and resistant.
Also bands with Velcro allows you to have more control and help it to keep position.
Totally recommend.
I needed this barbell pad support for my class. I use it for hip trusters exercises and it made it alot alot easie

The pad is very lightweight and easy to transport to and from the gym or use at home. The two straps make it easy to secure to the bar without moving or spinning around the bar as well. It provides a lot of cushioning for squats and hip thrusts
