POWER GUIDANCE Barbell Squat Pad - Neck & Shoulder Protective Pad - Great for Squats, Lunges, Hip Thrusts, Weight Lifting & More - Fit Standard and Olympic Bars Perfectly

I mainly use this for hip thrusts, and it works really well. It provides great cushioning and protects my pelvis bones from the pressure of the bar, which makes the exercise much more comfortable. I also use it on my shoulders for squats, and it helps a lot to avoid pain or discomfort. The padding is thick enough to make a difference but still feels stable. It stays in place during workouts and feels durable. Overall, it’s a great addition to my gym routine and definitely worth it.

This pad has noticeably increased the amount of weight I can squat because of the added comfort. It significantly reduces pressure on my neck and helps with neck pain during lifts. The material is thick and well-cushioned without feeling bulky, and the overall design is both effective and well priced. The Velcro closure is secure and easy to use, and it stays in place throughout workouts. The padding is substantial enough to offer extra protection as well—it has even saved my husband from a bumped head when the Smith machine wasn’t fully racked. Overall, a very well-designed and practical product.

The pad works great for heavy hip thrusts and high neck squats. Easy to set up on the bar and comfortable to use. Good thickness but not so thick you can’t set up properly. I bring this pad to my local Planet Fitness and people ask me where I got it. Definitely an upgrade over the pads they have for general use. Would recommend for any serious gym goer.

Made squatting 10x more comfortable. Husband uses it on our Olympic bar. Has held up nicely. Easy to take on and off.

I’ve been using the POWER GUIDANCE Barbell Squat Pad for a few weeks now during my lower body workouts, mainly for squats and hip thrusts. First impression is that it really does help reduce pressure on the neck and hips compared to using a bare barbell. It makes heavier sets feel more comfortable, especially when doing multiple reps. After consistent use, I noticed it definitely improves comfort during workouts, but it can shift slightly if not secured properly on the bar. It takes a moment to adjust it each time to make sure it stays in place. The foam cushioning is good at first, but over time it does start to compress a bit after repeated heavy use. It’s still usable, but it doesn’t feel as firm as it did when new.

Got this for hip thrust set up. Comfortable and soft. The straps included help keep it from sliding. Fits standard bar bell.

Love this for my home gym! Helps protect for hip thrusts and has a nice appearance. Very durable!

Bought it for zercher squats because I was bruising my arms really bad. It's not very long but it works great. Now I just leave it on my bar and use it for regular back squats too. Super cheap and super effective.

Wie beschrieben!

I really like this product as it has straps that can be adjustable!

So far, this has worked perfectly for my hip thrusts. Takes a bit of time taking the straps on and off, but I am glad to have them. The foam feels really dense and sturdy, exactly what I was hoping for.

Actually , It is very nice and good quality It is worth it to buy it. You will never regret.

Ich habe mir den Pad für schwere Hip Thrusts geholt und finde die Wirkung absolut genial! Dabei war ich anfangs recht skeptisch, weil ich auf Grund von abstehenden Hüftknochen schon ab 80kg Gesamtgewicht zwei Fitnessmatten für ein halbwegs gescheites Padding zusammenrollen musste und trotzdem Schmerzen und blaue Flecken hatte. Mit dem Pad merke ich von der Auflage her gar keinen Unterschied zwischen 50 und 120kg, die Belastung schluckt er einfach weg. Das einzige was ich bereue ist so lange mit dem Kauf gewartet zu haben!
