POWER GUIDANCE Barbell Squat Pad - Neck & Shoulder Protective Pad - Great for Squats, Lunges, Hip Thrusts, Weight lifting & More - Fit 50mm Olympic Bars

I use this for barbell hip thrusts and it does the job perfectly. I forgot my pad one week and had to use one of the gyms own pads and it was horrendous in comparison.Sturdy and protective, it withstands me hip thrusting three times per week with weight up to 180kg. I get zero discomfort when using this and will always repurchase when wear and tear gets too much.

brought for mrs t9 help her when squatting. They are as thick as they look in the picture and when using it it is vwry comfy. You dont feel the bar. Fornthose that hate the bar print on thir back or the way it feels. Th8s will help you focus on just thw squat or whichever excercise you are aiming to do. The 2 strapd that come with it are a defo good idea as they keep it on place to make sure it doesnt fall off or spin round as it would. Overall an excellent product that can be trusted to support you when doing the excercise.

Great bit of kit; make squatting with heavy weights much more comfortable and aids when placing the bar on shoulders due to the non-slip design. Also great for chest exercises; I can comfortably rest the bar on my thighs, chest etc when lay down. Straps are a must, I've seen a couple reviews with regards to broken straps and I'll admit an additional pair of straps and a carry bag (such as seen with the Edealing guard) would be a nice addition. However overall I think the quality of this guard is better.

I love this pad for my hip thrusts, it stops the bar from digging in due to the thickness. Have used for over a year so extremely durable and sturdy. Everyone at the gym has this exact one in different colours! 4/5 stars because as I reach 150kg, the bar begins to dig into my hips and causes bruising but perfect for weights under 150kg

I’ve tried many pads and this one is by far the best one. Its comfy, fits on the bar with ease, and you don’t get left with marks on your hip bone.It is a little big to carry but that’s a minor issue.

Arrived one day before EDD. Came inside a cardboard box and clear plastic wrapping. It has 2 velcro strips to place around the pad so it doesn't move, but I haven't used them; the pad is firm enough to hold on to the barbell and not move. I have only used it once but must say it's the most comfortable I have tried, it is actually comfortable to do hip thrusts and barbell squats!

Does job

I was struggling with painful bruises from hip thrust as the weight was getting heavier. I’ve tried it with 70kg and it’s honestly a game changer, foam is very firm and does the job just great. Buy it!
