Sparthos Barbell Pad - Comfort Equals Safety

Perfect for hip thrusts and etc. I really like that it is not thin, makes working with weights much more pleasant!

Protege muy bien de la barra para hip thrust, honestamente me ha gustado mucho! De material muy bueno, incluso el color es lindo, yo pedí azul

Es bastante cómodo y cumple con su función, me gusta 👍🏼

Ok, so I did not notice how thick the padding is from the photos in the posting. When the product arrived, I thought to myself "this thing is way too thick". But upon using it for the first time when performing my squat routine, I ended up absolutely liking it. It made it feel like there was actually nothing sitting on my neck and shoulders. And the velcro straps allow you to tighten the pad so that it doesn't end up rolling on the bar. My old pad would end up rolling in the middle of a squat and when it hit the opening seam the pad would actually start coming off. Super irritating. Not a problem with this Sparthos pad though. It does not roll as long as you tighten the straps.

I was pretty new to the gym life and slowly noticed i was needing some equipment. I looked at many barbell pads and some sounded good but it wasn’t really what i wanted i the material. I came across Sparthos barbell pad looked and read all the reviews and went for it. And I’m glad i did i use my pad almost everyday and for the amount of time i use it and clean it and take it off and put it on. I must say i am really happy with the material and my purchase. This was definitely a great buy.

I've been lifting for a few years now and have never found the need to purchase equipment or padding like this one. That changed when I started hip thrusting this year and found myself getting bruised -- ouch! I've tried other barbell pads but this is one is insane. We also use these at UCLA for our gyms. I love it so far. However, I don't know how it holds up in the long run. I'll be sure to update this review if there are any problems with that.
