แผ่นรองบาร์เบล EHPlabs

I was skeptical that a pad could make hip thrusts this much more bearable, but the cushioning around my hips completely changed how long I can push through a set. My neck and shoulders also stay locked in position during squats without that digging-in pain, so my form actually improved.

The padding is dense enough that I barely feel the bar digging into my hips during thrusters, and it stays put through a whole set of lunges without sliding around. Definitely makes heavy compounds less of a pain in the neck, literally.

My shoulders used to bruise from the bar during hip thrusts, but this pad’s dense cushioning spreads the weight evenly and stays put through the whole set. Even on heavy squat days, I’m not shifting it around between reps.
