About this product
Similar to the previous model, this Ergonomic Foam Bar Pad is designed for Olympic barbells to cushion the neck and hips during squats and thrusts. The generic brand offers a basic solution at $19.20. Made from foam, it fits standard 2-inch bars.
Our take
I needed a cheap pad for hip thrusts, so I picked this one. The foam is decent—it takes the edge off the bar. It's a standard design, nothing fancy. My main issue is that it slides around a lot; I have to reposition it constantly. Also, the strap that holds it in place feels flimsy. For $19.20, it's okay for occasional use, but I'd spend more for something with better grip and durability.
