Barbell Pad · Pink, Black, Red or Blue

Lift heavier, finish every set: a thick foam pad between the bar and your body

One piece of high-density foam rubber, 1.3 in thick, split from end to end. Press it onto the bar you already own, strap it down, and your neck, shoulders and hips get a wide, soft cushion where the knurled steel used to be.

Back squats, hip thrusts, lunges and carries all feel better when the bar stops digging in, and a comfortable bar is one you stay under for more reps.

Lifters say it changed how the bar feels

★★★★★

“While I enjoy working out, resting the bare bar across the pelvis or shoulder can be super uncomfortable. However, this pad is perfect! It allows me to do far more reps, increase weight with added comfort, and I have definitely been seeing progress!”

★★★★★

“I used to feel pain while doing hip thrusts because the bar would hit my hip bone area. However, since I bought this, I can lift much heavier, and it's so soft and easy to carry. I have been using it for more than a year, and it is still in great condition.”

★★★★★

“Bought this for my son to use while lifting. He's 16 and just really starting to get higher in lifting weights, but squats hurt his neck with the plain bar. This is perfect and has made a tremendous difference. Wonderful product!”

★★★★★

“Great pad! I recently got this to use for squats. Saves my neck during squats and hips during thrusts. Sturdy so far!”

“This product provided a lot of support at the gym when I do hip thrust. I don’t feel the pain of the bar on my hips at all. Love it.”

★★★★★

“I’m a personal trainer that mostly trains women. The gym that I work out of has a barbell pad that’s “better than nothing”. This pad is AWESOME!! My clients love it and so do I!”

Your bar goes from sharp to soft

A bare bar puts the whole load on one narrow line across your traps, or straight onto your hip bones in a hip thrust. The pad widens that contact patch and puts 1.3 in of dense foam between the knurling and your skin, so the weight is spread out and you can think about the lift instead of the bar.

That is how lifters add reps and add weight: the bar is comfortable enough to stay under.

On the bar in three moves

The sleeve is split end to end, so it goes on over the shaft rather than the end of the bar. The plates can stay loaded, and it fits a full-size Olympic bar and a one-inch home bar alike.

Open the slit. Pull the full-length split apart with both thumbs. The dense foam takes a firm hand the first time.

Press it onto the shaft. Push the open slit down over the knurled center of the bar. The foam closes behind the bar on its own.

Strap it. Wrap a nylon strap near each end, feed the tail through the metal ring, pull it back on itself and press the hook-and-loop down.

Strap both ends before you unrack and the pad stays right where you set it, set after set.

The lifts it makes better

Back squats. The wide foam band sits across your traps and takes the sharp line out of the bar, so you can stay tight under heavier loads and keep your focus on form.

Hip thrusts. This is the lift most buyers pick it for. The sleeve spans the width of your hips and lifts the bar off the bone, so you can drive through every rep.

Lunges and carries. Walking lunges, split squats and any carry where the bar sits on your body all get the same cushioned contact. Lightweight and easy to carry, it goes into your gym bag and travels with you.

Easy to look after

Wipe it clean. Warm water and a little mild soap on a cloth after a sweaty session, then air dry.
Keep it springy. Store it away from direct heat, such as a hot car, a radiator or a dryer, and the foam keeps its spring.
Hang it up. Take it off the bar between sessions and hang it or stand it on end so the contact band stays full.

Give your neck, shoulders and hips the cushion they deserve

If the bar across your hips or traps has been cutting your sets short, a thick foam pad on the bar you already own is the quickest fix. Strap it on, lift heavier and finish every rep. Backed by our 90-day money-back guarantee.
