POWER GUIDANCE Barbell Squat Pad - Neck & Shoulder Protective Pad - Great for Squats, Lunges, Hip Thrusts, Weight Lifting & More - Fit Standard and Olympic Bars Perfectly

This squat pad is a must-have if you do squats, lunges, or hip thrusts. It fits both standard and Olympic bars perfectly and stays securely in place during lifts. The padding is thick and firm enough to protect my neck and shoulders from bar pressure, but still comfortable without feeling bulky. Before using this, I’d always end up with sore spots after heavy hip thrusts or back squats. Now, I can load more weight and focus on form without the distraction of pain. The non-slip surface also helps keep it from shifting mid-set, which is a big plus. Lightweight, easy to take on and off, and small enough to throw in a gym bag—super convenient. For the price, it’s one of the best gym accessories I’ve added to my routine. Highly recommend for anyone serious about lifting!

It’s my angel for leg day and super sturdy love love love it straps stay secure as well!

I mainly use this for hip thrusts, and it works really well. It provides great cushioning and protects my pelvis bones from the pressure of the bar, which makes the exercise much more comfortable. I also use it on my shoulders for squats, and it helps a lot to avoid pain or discomfort. The padding is thick enough to make a difference but still feels stable. It stays in place during workouts and feels durable. Overall, it’s a great addition to my gym routine and definitely worth it.

Bought it for zercher squats because I was bruising my arms really bad. It's not very long but it works great. Now I just leave it on my bar and use it for regular back squats too. Super cheap and super effective.

I’ve been using the POWER GUIDANCE Barbell Squat Pad for a few weeks now during my lower body workouts, mainly for squats and hip thrusts. First impression is that it really does help reduce pressure on the neck and hips compared to using a bare barbell. It makes heavier sets feel more comfortable, especially when doing multiple reps. After consistent use, I noticed it definitely improves comfort during workouts, but it can shift slightly if not secured properly on the bar. It takes a moment to adjust it each time to make sure it stays in place. The foam cushioning is good at first, but over time it does start to compress a bit after repeated heavy use. It’s still usable, but it doesn’t feel as firm as it did when new.

This pad has noticeably increased the amount of weight I can squat because of the added comfort. It significantly reduces pressure on my neck and helps with neck pain during lifts. The material is thick and well-cushioned without feeling bulky, and the overall design is both effective and well priced. The Velcro closure is secure and easy to use, and it stays in place throughout workouts. The padding is substantial enough to offer extra protection as well—it has even saved my husband from a bumped head when the Smith machine wasn’t fully racked. Overall, a very well-designed and practical product.

Got this for hip thrust set up. Comfortable and soft. The straps included help keep it from sliding. Fits standard bar bell.

For my girls(or guys) who love to do their hip thrusts, its perfect padding instead of folding a yoga mat for cushioning. Or even for people that get hurt when squatting with bars, overall great padding and recommend. It stays in place if you fasten it tight enough

Does the job well, was delivered ultra fast.

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