FITGIRL - Squat Pad and Hip Thrust Pad for Leg Day, Barbell Pad Stays in Place Secure, Thick Cushion for Comfortable Squats Lunges Glute Bridges, Olympic Bar and Smith Machine

When my wife insisted on a FITGIRL Squat Pad for her early morning gym sessions – where she's the lone ranger at 5 AM – I knew it had to be as cute as it was functional. After all, who else was going to appreciate it that early besides the gym equipment?**Design and Functionality:** 5-StarsFirst off, this squat pad is more stylish than my attempts at doing the floss dance. It’s pink, it’s padded, and it’s like adding a touch of glamour to an otherwise gritty workout routine. My wife feels like she’s stepping onto a movie set rather than a gym floor, which definitely adds some pep to her early morning squats.**Price:** 5-StarsThe price was right on the money – not enough to break the bank, but just enough to make me consider skipping my morning coffee. It pads the bar perfectly for squats, hip thrusts, and whatever other feats of strength my wife deems necessary in her quest for fitness glory. It’s like a knight in shining armor, protecting her shoulders from the wrath of the barbell.**Durability and Comfort:** 5-StarsThis pad is tougher than my resolve to resist donuts. It cushions effectively without squishing down like yesterday’s mashed potatoes. Plus, it’s easy to clean, which is a huge win because let’s face it – gym equipment can get pretty sweaty, especially during intense morning workouts.And now, for a Dad joke: Why did the squat pad break up with the weight bench? Because it needed more space to squat and thrust!In conclusion, the FITGIRL Squat Pad has been a game-changer for my wife’s leg day routines. It’s cute, functional, and adds a splash of style to her early morning gym escapades. If you’re looking to protect your shoulders and add a bit of flair to your workout gear, look no further. Five stars all around!

I have used many barbell pads over the years since I started my fitness journey, and this is hands down my favorite for a few reasons! The biggest one for me was having the velcro flap secure the pad to the barbell. I used to use barbell pads that didn't have this feature and would always get annoyed when the pad would move off the bar depending on what exercise you were doing or how you get off the machine. Having the flap ensures it stays on the bar, and the velcro is strong too so I don't have to worry about it going anywhere. Another brilliant feature this pad has is there are non-slip rubber dots on the inside of the pad to prevent the pad from shifting when placed on the barbell. This is probably my favorite feature with this pad since that was always my biggest pet peeve when using previous barbell pads. The pad has a sturdy cloth cover that helps protect it from scratches or rips in your barbell pad with exposed padding in the middle to support your neck during heavy lifts and is quite comfortable. I can't recommend this barbell pad and now have to hide it since my roommate keeps trying to steal it from me; would highly recommend it!!!

The media could not be loaded. If you’re like me and you’ve ever thought “wow, this barbell is really trying to break my pelvis in half” during hip thrusts—this pad is your hero.I use it at my home box for hip thrusts and it makes a massive difference. No more bruised bones or awkward towel folding. It’s super thick, comfortable, and stays in place. I can actually focus on form instead of silently screaming through the pain.The camo design is cute (bonus points), and it fits perfectly on standard bars. 10/10 would recommend if you like lifting heavy but don’t want to sacrifice your pelvic health for glute gains.

I love this squad pad for hip thrusts! The black and pink combination looks amazing. It’s definitely worth the price because it provides great support and prevents discomfort during the exercise. Very sturdy and well-made!

Super cute and definitely comfortable I bought this when my dog chewed my other one. The only downside is it rotes when doing hip thrust so it doesn't go on as tightly as some others but for the price you can't beat it

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I liked the style of the Velcro being on both ends and the thickness of the pad. It works great. The inside has gripping that keeps it from slipping around on the bar.

Sturdy and does the job. Absolutely necessary for leg/glute days!

This is one of the best barbell pads I've used! I love that it velcros closed to keep it in place and avoids it from popping off.The padding is thick enough that it keeps the barbell from digging in, which makes doing hip thrusts so much more comfortable.It fits well on both my 45 & 35 lb barbell without sliding around. My husband has used it as well (who can lift significantly more than I can) and has said it worked great as well!Highly recommend.
