FITGIRL - The Best Squat Pad and Hip Thrust Pad for Leg Day, Barbell Pad Stays in Place Secure, Thick Cushion for Comfortable Squats Lunges Glute Bridges, Works with Olympic Bar and Smith Machine

Well, well. Whomever designed this squat pad deserves credit.1. The pad has flexibility- I used it on a curl bar for walking lunges and the open middle space on the pad allows the pad to bend without the velcro attachments peeling apart. Also, the middle is slightly more narrow than the rest of the pad to allow a clean fit for my neck so its feel as if my neck slots into the pad. (I gave 5 stars for this reason)2. It has Thickness to absorb pressure around the neck and shoulders but without being to bulky and it keeps the bar away from the neck spinal cord.3. I did notice you have to keep the open side in the up position to avoid contact of my neck with the bar and like all pads it will spin a little while in use, but the velcro straps have Home Depot quality so I cant imagine it ever falling off while in use.3. I purchased the black camo with pink and it's a very attractive piece of equipment that others will ask where it was purchased4. Finally, I also purchased their resistance band at the same time with the same Color scheme design and I must say the quality of it is also 5 starts. This company is onto something. It's as if they read my mind on what I want with fitness accessories.

Needed this for my gym set up. I was so bummed when I started to use it. The size of the opening to but it on the bar is way too lose and it's impossible to tighten the velcro enough to where it doesn't slide around and roll on the bar. I have to be careful to make sure the opening is at the top or the bar's weight while using makes the bar fall into that opening. I've hurt myself a few times when it's slipped. I'm wishing I'd bought something thinner too- the padding is so thick. Not great. I don't even use it now, it's just sitting in my garage.

I prefer a foam pad. This doesn’t stay on the barbell well and slides around easily. Not that comfortable for heavy hip thrusting

This bar pad is almost perfect. I'd probably rate it 5/5 if it didn't seem to slip off sometimes. I have to pay attention when I'm hip thrusting to where the velcro is because there is a small gap in the foam that the bar will slip out of but still be contained by the velcro and it's painful if it lands on your hips. The velcro is super strong - it will scratch you if you don't have a good grip when you're trying to tighten or take it off. Not 100% satisfied with this bar pad but it get's the job done.

Was afraid The Best Squat Pad and Hip Thrust Pad was going to be too big for my standard 1" bar, but nope. Fits beautifully (Velcro's on tight)...And works even better. I had purchased a Weider bar pad from Walmart ($10), but this new one will do twice the job that the Weider would, & not all that much more money when you think about what you are getting. And glad it doesn't have all those extra straps on the outside. I would think that would be uncomfortable. Really happy with product.

I purchased this to use when I’m using the smith machine @the gym for squats, lunges and hip thrusts . It’s so comfortable and very durable at the same time. I like that it has the groove in the middle to rest nicely on the neck area while allowing me to use heavy weight . I recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, comfortable and cute pad for your workouts . I also was impressed with the price for the value.. definitely would purchase again.

Poor quality and slips constantly to expose bar
