Designed for barbell exercises to reduce discomfort during contact with the bar, especially during squats and hip thrusts. Key benefits Pain barbell squats and hip thrusts: specifically designed to reduce pressure and discomfort on the shoulders and hips during barbell movements. Dense foam cushioning: density thick foam provides reliable comfort and protection where the bar rests on the body. Antislip surface: prevents sliding and helps keep the pad in place, improving grip on the shoulders during intense sets. Durable and supportive: foam maintains cushioning under repeated use, delivering lasting performance. What it is and how it works Material and construction: density thick foam delivers cushioning where the bar touches the body, helping to minimize irritation and pressure during movements. Function and performance: the pad aims to enhance comfort without compromising control or stability during barbell exercises. Compatibility and use Compatibility: designed for use with barbells during squats and hip thrusts. How to use: slide the pad onto the barbell at the contact points (shoulders for squats, hips for hip thrusts) to create a cushioned, nonslip surface. Use scenarios Barbell back squats: place the pad on the bar where it rests on the shoulders to reduce pressure and improve comfort during sets. Barbell hip thrusts: position the pad on the bar where it contacts the hips to cushion the area and protect the skin during lifts. Other barbell movements with body contact: use the pad on portions of the bar that contact the body when performing hipfocused or shouldersupported exercises to reduce discomfort and maintain control.
