POWER GUIDANCE Square Hip Thrust Pad Barbell Squat Pad Protective Pad for Barbell Bench Press, Barbell Hip Thrusts, Weight Lifting, Squats, Lunges - Fit Standard and Olympic Bars

I recently started lifting much heavier and hip thrusting at 225 was really painful to my hips and pubic bone, no matter what squat pad I used. After looking for a new solution, I found this and read others’ reviews and found one from someone lifting twice as much as me and so I gave it a try. On first rep I knew this was different - it didn’t move, it didn’t hurt and I could focus on lifting. I am so excited for how this will allow me to build! One thing to contend with is it’s a little harder to get into the starting position if you’re thick like me. Because it’s not round, it was a little trickier to walk my heels into the right starting position. But once I got it up and could reposition my feet again and it was very comfortable thereafter. Well worth every penny!

Best purchase I’ve made in a while. No more pain during hip thrusts. Super comfortable and thick. Would recommend!

Hate to use the cliche "game changer" but it really is. I am a man, and used regular round pads for a while but still could not get relief from the pressure on my bones where the bar made contact. I love how the pad attaches with velcro on opposite sides so that it really hugs the bar. The pad will still rotate around the bar a little bit which is a good thing, but it is firmly in place and will not shift side to side. When I first tried it, I could not believe how comfortable it was. Finally, I was able to really focus on the movement and can definitely add more weight now with improved form.

I have mixed emotions about this product. The pros: it helps you to lift large amounts of weight during hip thrust. Cons: it is uncomfortable when you are in this starting and ending sitting position. Because it is bulky, it pushed against your stomach which feel uncomfortable. Overall a good product, I just wish that it was a little less bulky.

Took some time getting used to the shape but I do not feel any pain at all with this and could load on more weight

Very disappointed. Put this on an olympic barbell and a good quality hip thrust should allow for legs at a strict 90 deg angle plus maybe 10-20 degrees at full extension. This pad pushes you out to more like 110-130. The fact this is a fat square in your lap, as opposed to a foam cylinder, makes tucking your legs in at the resting position impossible, forcing you to drive with an awkward mechanical disadvantage through the heels which are now 45 deg to the floor. No way I could get my toes on the floor with this pad on the bar. Rotating it so the pad is horizontal is bad since the bar just wants to slide out the front opening directly onto your pelvis/groin. The pad itself seems to have excellent durability, but I don't know what the product is actually meant to be used for or why this was made.

I had the standard pad, round with the opening that you have to be careful to keep the padded side on the bottom. I lost it and didn't love it so I was looking for something different. Love this! I'm just trying to get it done at the gym, and the fact that I don't have to fidget with this as i maneuver it into place from the ground to my hips makes the work out smoother. It's much more padded than the standard one.

Feels good with heavier weight. Material is grippy. Padding looks like its replaceable. Mine showed up with a nice slit in the material which wasn't through the wrapping so it got damaged before being packaged by the manufacturer. I guess we will see how long it holds up.

Best BB pad I have ever experienced. Fantastic on BB squats, lunges and freestyle Olympic/cambered BB hip thrust, a complete game changer. I did try hip thrusting on the Smith machine, but this does not work well, i was unable to unhook or roll the bar back, so the heavier you hip thrust eg in this case 170 kg Smith machine, you can strain your wrist and I did lesson learnt. So just free style only with this pad, in doing so I no longer have foot ache or hip ache I expect to get good gains from now on. Really hoping this brand could make the rounded pad in the same thickness???

This accessory changes the level of my hip thrust 💪🏽

Muy bueno lo compre para un gym y super

I have the worst shoulder mobility but can back squat with ease with this pad. It's thick and nice on the shoulders and can be used for the other mentioned exercises. I recommend this!!!

Es perfecto. He probado otros redondos y este va genial no te clavas la barra. Genial
