Iron Bull Strength Advanced Squat Pad - Barbell Pad for Squats, Lunges & Hip Thrusts - Neck & Shoulder Protective Pad Support

This provides fantastic cushioning when doing squats. Previously I didn't have any cushioning at all and so after a few sets of squats my trap muscles would invariably hurt under the stress of the load. This changes all that - now when I put this squat pad on the bar I don't feel any pain at all. I can concentrate on my squats which are now fun to do, not a chore. A tip for when you put this on the bar - make sure that the opening is at the top, if it's at the bottom then the pad will slip off when you start to do your squats, a minor point but important nonetheless.

cant grumble for the price at all. easily holds 100kg across the shoulders. mid section is a little thin and I can feel the bar on my spine but i think thats anatomical. I think come 120,130 kg i will need something better

Great pad - only gripe is when doing hip thrusts it feels quite big so can’t get full range of motion - may be just me that has that issue though!Still very usable with hip thrusts and very comfy.I feel like this pad is more meant for squats anyway and maybe that’s why!
