Barbell Pad for Standard and Olympic Barbells with Safety Straps Bonus 30 Day Challenge – Foam Pad for Weightlifting, Hip Thrusts, Squats and Lunges

I have been using this for years now and it is still comfortable. It fits in my bag well, and is easy to setup. Beats having to find a used one in the gym that's been through hell and back. If you do hip thrusts/ barbell glute bridges often, go ahead and buy this. Especially if you travel/don't always go to the same gym this is one less thing to worry about having on hand.

I wanted to write an honest review on this item. So, I took sometime using this in my home gym before I decided to post. I bought bar support pad/wraps from two different sellers, only difference.. the first did not have straps. The first pad was from another company. Their pad had good reviews and was cheaper then this item. So of course.. I bought the cheaper one. Within a week I was ordering from this company. I absolutely love this companies bar pad/wrap!!! The straps help the support pad/wrap to not move and stay in place. Believe me, when you have your bar on your shoulders and going into a lunge, sometimes balance can be an issue... the previous bar warp I bought would slide or allow my bar to roll. The first pad did not help keep my bar stable, meaning, that the support wrap with out straps would work it’s was loose from my bar. If I had to adjust my bar there were times the wrap would come completely off and I’d have to set up up the wrap and bar all over again. This product/ bar pad/wrap DOES stay in place perfectly!! It also protects me when doing any kind of weighted thrust, bridges or shoulder/back exercises. This item is definitely a sold buy. The quality is great. The foam is a thick spongy feel, but not too spongy. My weighted bar never exceeds 100lbs, so that being said, the pressure the bar pushes down on certain parts of the pad/wrap never exceed 100lbs. However, even though I’m not lifting extremely heavy weight with this support wrap, the item is used almost daily and has been since it was purchased. Is a great buy.

A little too big though. Too much separation from back to bar.

It has straps, so you can fit it around the barbell and it fits so many different barbell sizes. Sometimes it slides around and so I get the part that opens on me but then I flip it over and it works great. Love the support.

So I hip thrust 360 sadly it doesn’t hold up I have to buy a new one every month or so, because it cracks :/ it worked fine till 300 and up.

Got the red one for pizazz. I’m amazed at the makeup and quality. The foam and its sealed layer are on a level of a much more expensive product. The seller is communicative and definitely encourages the reviews you’re seeing. I jumped at first, because they came across messaging that they “needed” the reviews as a small company. But then I saw there are thousands of five star reviews. Not so needed. I decided to try it out and see. So here’s my non-guilted review: the curve I have to make to accommodate for the thickness, for me, throws off form a bit. And a bit accounts for a lot for me because I have an old neck injury. However, for those without neck injuries, a little bit adds up over time for sure. For me, the extra curving my neck had to do wouldn’t work so I had to transfer the bar lower down my shoulder/back (I see that in some of the pictures people have posted!) This led to a slightly improper form for the wrist. And of course, sitting IT for over a decade, my wrists are going to set off alarms quickly when something isn’t right. For the thickness I’d give it 3 stars, but I didn’t account for that and it was clearly stated and pictured. I am sure they’d handle the issue well as they are good communicators. So 4 instead.

This barbell pad is super comfortable and assists well in focusing on the quality of the reps instead of the discomfort of the bar on your shoulder. I found the reps to be harder because you are able to "feel" your working sets better. It also can be handy for beginners who want to know where to put their hands on the bar for dead lifts - just outside the barbell pad. With a wrist strap/weight lifting glove. Many female lifters will find a lot of comfort and stability with this pad, without hurting their wrists and shoulders in the process. The only thing that can be a bit frustrating is the foam like texture of the pad can be easily scuffed or marked up. Keep the pad separate from the rest of your gym bag or in high traffic areas to keep it nice. I also recommend to keep the straps that come with it to secure the pad to the bar. The last thing you need is to throw your back out because the pad is moving around. Strap it in place and secure it to the bar!!!

TLDR: works well, but mine is starting to wear down after a couple months of use about 1x/weekbought this around the end of July 2019. have used it less than a dozen times since then (definitely did not use it September, October, or December as I was traveling a lot during those months), and unfortunately it's already wearing down on the inside of the tube.the photo was taken in November 2019, and you can see there are 'blisters' / bubbles inside the foam.THIS HAS NOT YET AFFECTED THE FUNCTION OF THE BARBELL PAD. it still works well for its purpose (hip thrusts and squats), so this is more of a public service announcement to those who want to lift with a barbell pad very frequently.I've basically gotten 2-3 months' worth of uses out of it so far (August + November 2019, January 2020), and no huge complaints except that it wears down. I emailed the company in November, and they quickly replied saying they would send a replacement, but I haven't heard from them since even when I sent a follow-up email..will use this until it disintegrates and then try something else out!

I LOVE this barbell pad, much more comfortable than the basic ones and super easy to use!

I honestly have to tell you this Barbell pad is amazing!! I use it for my Bodypump classes. Since I’ve used I was able to handle more weights since it helps minimize pressure on the shoulders! Very comfortable! This is what will help me get the results I am looking for without hurting myself. 5 stars!!! Thank you!!!

Still waiting to use it,but based on the quality of pad and padding itself, I believe I’ll be happy with it!

Love this piece for my olympic bar! Easy on and off and saves strain on the vertebrae
