POWER GUIDANCE Square Hip Thrust Pad Barbell Squat Pad Protective Pad for Barbell Bench Press, Barbell Hip Thrusts, Weight Lifting, Squats, Lunges - Fit Standard and Olympic Bars

I recently started lifting much heavier and hip thrusting at 225 was really painful to my hips and pubic bone, no matter what squat pad I used. After looking for a new solution, I found this and read others’ reviews and found one from someone lifting twice as much as me and so I gave it a try. On first rep I knew this was different - it didn’t move, it didn’t hurt and I could focus on lifting. I am so excited for how this will allow me to build! One thing to contend with is it’s a little harder to get into the starting position if you’re thick like me. Because it’s not round, it was a little trickier to walk my heels into the right starting position. But once I got it up and could reposition my feet again and it was very comfortable thereafter. Well worth every penny!

Very comfortable and has a generous amount of padding even for a heavy bar!

Awesome product, couldn't feel the bar at all when doing hip thrusts at 270lbs! Also stays in place with the grippy stuff. This will up your booty game! Get it!

I am a personal trainer and many of my clients have complained about the hip thrust being uncomfortable with the standard round bar pad. I ordered this one and I am beyond happy with it. Clients look and feel more stable executing the hip thrust with comfort!! I’m also very pleased with the quality and look of pad! 10/10 recommend!

I use this for my hip thrusts and it works but bc of the shape makes doing the exercise a little bit awkward bc it is square. I thought it would make it better…but, I really see the rounded ones are more ideal.

I had the standard pad, round with the opening that you have to be careful to keep the padded side on the bottom. I lost it and didn't love it so I was looking for something different. Love this! I'm just trying to get it done at the gym, and the fact that I don't have to fidget with this as i maneuver it into place from the ground to my hips makes the work out smoother. It's much more padded than the standard one.

Too thin. 250# of weights for hip thrusts and this thin bar cushion is horrible. Feels like getting the barbell on top of bone. I’m 5’6”, 30 waist and 182#. No body fat, only muscle but using this one digs into my pelvis.

I am happy with the padding, but when in use on our olympic barbells it constantly slides around the bar making it difficult to stay in place. I bought it because I wanted extra padding during hip thrusts. I had to put a thin, folded yoga mat under the pad while using so it would stay in place.
