Hip Thrust X™ “Patent Pending” 100% Made in The USA - Barbell Pad

The shape makes a real difference in the comfort of hip thrusts... no more bruising or discomfort. Unsure of the long term durability given the foam is rather light and the middle section is cut out to be thinner. May also not work on larger barbells. I do think the price is a bit high for what it is, so get it on sale < $80 and you'll be happy. Overall its a great design and Im hoping it lasts.

I've tried several pads for hipthrusting and they have all cracked and split since I use them very often with weights from 135lbs-500lbs. My IPR fitness pad has lasted me for a few years now and has gone through a lot of workouts. The hipthrust is my main lift for glutes since I can't squat due to limitations.The shape is very comfortable and protects the most sensitive area for me during the lift, my hip bones. The flaired parts lifts the bar away from the sensitive pelvic area.You can pay $10-$20 bucks for a pad that won't last, like I have several times, or just pay once for this. This is the best and longest lasting hipthrust pad I ever bought. Really hoping they come back on stock so I can gift it to my other thrusting pals.

The media could not be loaded.  Here's the thing with hip thrusting: size matters. This pad delivers a full inch and a half above and beyond The Squat Pad (which I used prior to this one). The foam itself is a bit sturdier, doesn't roll around the bar as much (crucial when you're lifting heavy loads across the hips - my PR is 315# at five reps), and retains shape better than the aforementioned product. Is it a bit costly? Sure. But for the added width and not having to try and deal with getting an aero pad under the bar (really your own other option from a thickness standpoint), it's worth every penny. Oh, and unlike similar products, this one is made right here in the USA - just like the butt I'm building with it. An investment you won't regret if you're serious about hip thrusting - free of injury - for the long haul.

It’s ok and gets the job done but it’s flimsy. I was expecting better quality for that price.

The media could not be loaded.  Y’all this thing is a GAME CHANGER! I’ve used about every hip thrust pad on the market and nothing comes close in comparison to the Hip Thrust X. It’s super thick so no matter how much weight you’re moving, you don’t feel the bar at all. It’s extremely secure on the barbell so you don’t have to worry about it slipping around or coming off in the middle of your set. I can lift a significant amount more weight while using this compared to other pads because I’m actually able to focus on my GLUTES and proper form, and not be concerned with a wobbling bar, or getting/keeping the pad situated so it doesn’t fly off. Leg day is incomplete without this baby. Worth every penny. Not to mention the company and it’s owner are as nice, professional, and helpful as can be.

I found IPR Fitness about a year ago. I got their straps for tricep extensions and LOVED them. Recently, I decided to buy the glute kickback pros, and the hip thrust x. I can’t believe I hadn’t gotten these a year ago! I’ve missed out on maximizing my leg day routine. With the hip thrust x I was able to increase my weight load by 20# the first time I used it. And it works for squats too!! The glute kickbacks are fantastic for all my ham exercises. I love how I’m able to get deep down into the muscle and isolate so well. I’m planning on getting the abductor straps next and the squat wedge!! Can’t wait! From here on out, IPR Fitness accessories will have a permanent spot in my gym bag for leg day!! Can’t wait for your next product Robert!

Yes, it is expensive for a piece of foam, But it works as advertised. I did 225lb hip thrusts and barely felt the bar on my hip bones. Women can get away with using the cheaper soft foam pads because they can place the bar further down on their legs, but for a man, this is much better.

I have been supporting IPR for awhile because of their product quality and customer service! I ordered their kick back pro and felt in love with their products since. Been waiting for his hip thrust pad for awhile now and SO GLAD I finally got to try it!!! This is exactly what I need to support my hip when I do heavy hip thrusting (my working set is 315lb). I am a small framed girl. This pad is thick, firm and sooo well made!!! Those ones they provide at the gym are thin, and flimsy...my hip always gave up first before my legs do using them. Again, IPR you guys are killin' it !

It is very overpriced for what it actually is. That said it does what its supposed to do.
