Hip Thrust Back Pad for Squat Rack & Olympic Barbell Bar, Bench Press Back Support, Versatile Space-Saving Workout Tilt-pad for Hip Thrust, Split Squat, Plank, Elevated Push-ups Glute Bridge

I bought this because I’m a tall person and always struggled to get my form right when trying hip thrusts on a bench. I thought I’d try this to see if it helps and I couldn’t be happier. The pad itself is very sturdy and while the Velcro doesn’t hold the pad in place on the smith bar, as soon as you put your back on it it’s rock solid. This pad enabled me to correct my poor form and now I can thrust a lot more weight. I’m very pleased with this little pad! I only wish they had different colors to choose from!

This product makes the hip thrust much easier

Like and is comfortable. Padding is nice, can just leave on in other lifts.

Comfort. Quality is good as well. Use as a knee pad as well. Home gym needed for sure.

I love this product! Not only does it conform to the bar bell, but the velcro allows you to secure it in place yet it allows it to pivot as you move. Sometimes if I'm lazy to get my weights, I'll even use the convex bar cutout to place over my steps to do weightless hip thrusts at the steps. Imagine that, hip thrusts wherever you go with comfort.Aside using this for hip thrusts, I also use this for bulgarian split squats. The important thing to note is that the stiffness is JUST right -- just soft enough to provide comfort, but not too soft so that it compromises form. If you've already got a squat rack that can place the bar really low, then this is a must have product to add to your arsenal!

The pros:This pad is flat and is comfortable on your backThe fabric used is heavy and durable. It is not likely to wear out on you.The padding appears to be dense enough to hold up to considerable use.The cons:The pad is a loose fit on the bar and relys on velcro tabs to keep it from falling off. Unfortunately this allows it to swing around so that the padded side is always facing down when are not sitting up against it. It is a pain to constantly be reaching behind you to swing it back into position. Especially if you have a heavy weight in your lap.The fabric is very slick and unless you have your bar low enough to be under your shoulder blades while sitting on the floor you will slip on while trying to do the exercise.Honestly there are better pads out there.

I ordered this to use in my home gym. I had recently started running into issues with doing hip thrusts as I've increased the weight. It had become more uncomfortable but this pad solves it. It makes hip thrusts with heavy loads enjoyable and a pain free experience. I haven't used it for other exercises but it is solid so I wouldn't expect it to be a problem for the other use cases stated. Great value.

I had high expectations for a pad that costs this much and I was not disappointed. It is extremely solid with a tight fit and finish, all while being extremely comfortable. It is not only perfect for hip thrusters, but I’m finding it most valuable to use as a chest pad on my bench in the inclined position so I can do rows.The pad fits tightly onto my bar and the substantial Velcro straps on the back keep keep it firmly in place with no possibility of coming undone. With the amount of Velcro on the back, I expect this to last a very long time before it wears out.
