About this product
This Ergonomic Foam Bar Pad is designed for Olympic barbells to provide comfort during squats, hip thrusts, and neck exercises. The generic brand pad reduces pressure on the neck and shoulders. It is made from dense foam and fits standard bars. At $17.08, it is an affordable accessory for lifters looking to improve comfort.
Our take
I grabbed this foam pad for high-bar squats and hip thrusts. The padding is firm enough to distribute weight without being too squishy. It stays in place fairly well, but I have to adjust it between sets. The generic build is fine for the price, though I worry about durability over time. It does the job for protecting my neck and collarbone. If you're doing heavy squats, you might want something more robust, but for light to moderate use, it works.
