POWER GUIDANCE Barbell Squat Pad - Neck & Shoulder Protective Pad - Great for Squats, Lunges, Hip Thrusts, Weight lifting & More - Fit 50mm Olympic Bars

brought for mrs t9 help her when squatting. They are as thick as they look in the picture and when using it it is vwry comfy. You dont feel the bar. Fornthose that hate the bar print on thir back or the way it feels. Th8s will help you focus on just thw squat or whichever excercise you are aiming to do. The 2 strapd that come with it are a defo good idea as they keep it on place to make sure it doesnt fall off or spin round as it would. Overall an excellent product that can be trusted to support you when doing the excercise.

Great bit of kit; make squatting with heavy weights much more comfortable and aids when placing the bar on shoulders due to the non-slip design. Also great for chest exercises; I can comfortably rest the bar on my thighs, chest etc when lay down. Straps are a must, I've seen a couple reviews with regards to broken straps and I'll admit an additional pair of straps and a carry bag (such as seen with the Edealing guard) would be a nice addition. However overall I think the quality of this guard is better.

Initially I was a bit dubious about the depression in the centre of the pad but this really does help to stabilise the bar when it's on your shoulders. So far, the foam has always sprung back after being compressed and the pad is really comfortable in use, enabling me to concentrate on squeezing out that extra rep without the distraction of pain in my spine. It's also short enough to carry on the crossbar of my bike for transport to and from the gym.

Nice quality item but I did not find that it fitted a 1” bar well. I have a 1” spinlock York bar and even with the foam fully closed, it slid freely up and down the bar and didn’t grip it as I would have liked (as it’s fully closed, the tensioning straps didn’t resolve this). To fix this I used a serrated knife to cut out an approx 1” wedge from the foam allowing it to tighten further. Combining this with the straps did enable it to grip the 1” bar without an issue. I’m sure if you’re using a standard Olympic bar you won’t need to do this as this is clearly what it’s been designed to fit....

Works really well

An amazing product!! My partner bought this for me as part of my Christmas presents and I’d die for this pad! It’s changed my squatting, because there is now no pressure on my shoulders from the bar I feel more secure and stronger. I hit a new PB thanks to this pad! And doing hip thrusts, girls you wouldn’t believe it! I used to get bruises all the time from doing them, but because this pad is thick (feels more like a memory foam) I can do thrusts with breeze and no bruises(!)

Amazing!! I hip thrust 140kg+ and can’t feel it at all, highly recommend.

Arrived one day before EDD. Came inside a cardboard box and clear plastic wrapping. It has 2 velcro strips to place around the pad so it doesn't move, but I haven't used them; the pad is firm enough to hold on to the barbell and not move. I have only used it once but must say it's the most comfortable I have tried, it is actually comfortable to do hip thrusts and barbell squats!

Does the job well, was delivered ultra fast.

I really like this product as it has straps that can be adjustable!
