So happy with my purchase. These pads are very strong. The material inside is very dense. As soon as they arrived I tested them with the set up in the images attached. I lifted off the pads and dropped the barbell from knee height onto the pads. The bumper plates are crumb Olympic plates which usually bounce quite high when dropped. After dropping onto the pads they hardly rebounded at all and the other noticeable difference was the sound from dropping was dampened. They make a massive difference. You can see in the images after dropping just three times, the heavy barbell and plates have not impacted the product at all. Super impressed with these. They also have an handle on either side to lift them and move around. The fabric cover has an zip to take the covers off. They are a nice depth and it makes it easier to lift the loaded barbell straight off the pads as the bar is closer/ higher to you. The pads are so large you can easy load the bar up fully and still feel safe to drop straight onto them. The logo on them looks good in my gym too. Plus the price is very reasonable especially when you compare other brands which I almost purchased from at a higher price. So glad I purchased these instead. The photos do not do them justice. They look so nice when you can see them for yourself. Plus they have many other uses. I can stack them and place my feet on them while doing push ups. Highly recommended!
