POWER GUIDANCE Barbell Squat Pad - Neck & Shoulder Protective Pad，2023 Upgraded Polyurethane Material, Fit All Barbell Bars, Quick Setup Easy Cleaning

Got the 70 version for heavy hip thrusts and works great! No hip pain! Way better then those cheap foam pads

This barbell pad is a game-changer for anyone serious about weightlifting. Its softness and flexibility provide exceptional comfort and support, reducing the strain on your shoulders and neck during intense sessions. The padding effectively absorbs pressure and distributes weight evenly, allowing for a more stable and controlled lift. Despite its soft construction, it remains durable and maintains its shape even after frequent use. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's experienced discomfort in the contact spot of their upper back while squatting and would 100% recommend it for weighted calf raises regardless.

My old squat pad is starting to loose it's luster. I needed a new one. Came across this one and gave it a try. Upon opening, it is a nice looking and firm supportive pad. My only concern is all of the other pads I've had in the past all had the velcro to strap down and tighten. My original thought is this one is going to move around too much, especially during those heavier sets. I've used it so far for squats, lunges and hip thrusts and there are absolutely NO issues. It does stay in place and grips my smith bar machine very tight. I do appreciate how the side is kind of straight but also feels more natural(to me) on my neck vs the traditional round shaped ones. I will use this one for now on and keep my old one for back up. Recommended.

I had just setup a home gym complete with bench and Olympic bar. I wanted to get a pad for benching but everything I came across was for squats. I was looking at this one for a while and decided to order it and try it out. Once it arrived and I pulled it out the box, I was excited to see if it would fit on the bar. Snapped on very easy and I will say much better then the old school ones with vinyl. Very happy with the product, don't hesitate to order.

I have several different styles of these in my workout room. This is definitely good quality with a firm inner layer that holds nicely on the barbell & the outer is slightly softer but still very firm. It does provide the protection for hip thrusts but maybe a bit too thick for squats. Regardless I still really like it. I definitely like that it attaches quickly & simply and removal is the same. Easy on easy off, no Velcro straps or fighting with really tight fitting ones. Glad to have added to my collection

Review is from my wife since she is the gym user.I usually have to use a towel to put over my gym clothes to keep the barbell from snagging my clothing. I use a men's 45 Olympic barbell from Rogue. I've tried the pool noodle thing and they just slip off after awhile. More frustrating than anything. But this is a well made sturdy pad that grips the bar snugly. It also is a great pad and helps prevent pain when pressing. Looks like it would be good on the back when doing squats or yoke carries. but haven't tried that yet. I'm just happy with using it for the hip thrusts. I think this will last a long time too as it seems really well made.

This pad is a PERFECT fit on an olympic bar. I'm actually really impressed with how well it stays on and right where you want it. Now maybe with time it'll stretch out and not be as perfect, but I can't predict the future and right now it's great! Super easy to put on, take a little bit more effort to pry it off, but that's really how you want it to be! And you don't have to mess with any velcro straps or anything which is really nice. The foam is somewhat firm. I think the amount of padding is great for the lighter weights I do, and for squats, but for heavier weight hip thrusts I'd definitely want to add more padding. But since I generally do lighter weight high reps this really fits the bill for me and I would recommend it for that! Hope this helps!

The POWER GUIDANCE Barbell Squat Pad - Neck & Shoulder Protective Pad works as intended. I was joking for a low cot, decent squat pad that could provided some relief, padding between shoulder and bar. I like the fact that the non open side were the bar is thatched is flat and textured. I have used pads that were rounded and I constantly had to reposition. I had zero issue using, was a snap to insert and remove. Im terms if build quality, it looks and feels like a very solid, dense piece of foam. All the seams and stuccoing whew free of defects etc. Overall, this was exactly what I was looking for in a low cost squat pad.
