PROTONE barbell pad/squat pad with ADDED glute band set - foam support sleeve for olympic barbell up to 28mm diameter - Hip thrust, squat

The added straps make this version better than the rest. The straps help keep the pad in place and that means you spend more time focusing on your lift than thinking about the pad moving along or slipping around the bar. It's comfortable, fits a standard 1" bar and could potentially help you lift more weight (more comfort and focus). Good value too. *** Pros *** - Good value - Doesn't slip on bar when straps are used - Compares more favourably to other versions of the same pad - Comfortable and confidence inspiring *** Cons *** - Obviously won't fit every neck and shoulders - Quite large and will take a few sets to get used to - Not immensely flexible FYI: It doesn't fit a thick bar

Exactly what I was looking for. Needed this to perform safety bar squats with the use of a normal regular Olympic barbell modified with this pad and wrist straps either side. Takes the pressure off the cervical spine and stays in place better than other squat pads because of the velcro loops at either end which you can tighten. Very comfortable.

I mainly bought this for my girlfriend. I don't use it as I prefer to feel the bar across my neck/shoulders, but I have tried it out and it is very comfortable for squatting and hip thrusts/bridges. It's thicker than I imagined so in my opinion it makes the bar feel a bit unstable for squatting, I would like it to be slightly thinner. The straps are also annoying. It would be better if they were stitched in place as you have to fully remove them to wrap them around the foam once it is on the bar, feed it through the little loop then back onto the velcro... it's fiddly sometimes but it's alright. Overall it's good enough and worth the price.

Wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this as a gift for my daughter. When it arrived, I had a quick look and it seemed pretty nice. My daughter has used it a couple of times in the gym and she is raving about it - much better than the one she had previously, very comfortable in use and seems like it will be durable. The straps to tighten the pad onto a free weights bar are a great idea, she says it feels much more secure. All in all, a good purchase.

Great product. Been doing squats with out the pad very painful, uncomfortable and struggled to keep form. Got this pad when it was on offer, as soon as I got the bar on my shoulders it felt so comfortable, It has gaven me so much confidence, my form is so much better and I'm able to increase the weight. Great buy would highly recommend the straps are a great addition.

Great product for the squat bar, makes training more comfortable and lets me concentrate on technique and improving my squat. At 50 years old and hitting it hard I will take all the help I can get, prompt delivery and great value. Delighted from start to finish

Bought this to replace a York heavy duty pad, which had started leaving a on the barbell at the gym thanks to the glue coming away from the Velcro over time. Really like this pad so far. No Velcro to secure it to the pad is a great idea. Was a bit cynical at first that this would stay in place but it does. I only use it to cushion a delicate area from the bar while doing hip thrusts. The pad at my gym is rubbish as were the ones before, so I’ve been taking my own for years now. Well worth what I paid for it. Haven’t used the band that came with it but that was a good bonus.

I use this pad for placing on a bar and resting my rear foot/ankle on when doing Bulgarian split squats. There’s enough padding to make this nice and comfortable.

Très bien pour utiliser avec les hip thrusts. L'éponge est très épaisse et le produit est très léger à transporter

Cumple su prometido. Va genial protege muy bien.

Parfait pour faire mes squats à la maison, la mousse protège bien la nuque et les épaules, de plus la protection mousse s'adapte parfaitement sur ma barre de petit diamètre. Tarif très abordable et livraison rapide !

È un buon prodotto, nel mio caso il buco interno ha un diametro un pochino piccolo per il mio bilanciere ma riesco cmq a usarlo. Protegge bene il bacino dal peso (io lo uso per fare hip trust, ponte, stacchi)

El producto es excelente, muy cómodo y cumple el cometido. Sólo que nose ahun para que sirve la corre grande que trae consigo. ¿Alguien me lo puede explicar?
