The Hip Thrust Pad

Product Information

Although ProFitness might take a little longer to attach to barbells, the straps ensure an extreme level of barbell stability to reduce the risk of sliding off to a minimum. This isn't just another squat pad repurposed for hip thrusts. It's designed specifically for thrusting and booty-building. Just slide the heavy-duty six layers of foam (wrapped up in tough Cordura) between your delicate hip bones and that bar, and go to town! This barbell pad is surprisingly long and offers decent coverage over the barbell, standing at 17.5 inches long. Do you realize that it has been almost five years since you unveiled the barbell HT? My how time flies!

Heavy hip thrusting is brutal on the hips. While some lifters can tolerate hip thrusting without any padding, most will find the lift excruciatingly painful if padding isn’t used. Even worse is that pain will shut down muscle activation and prevent the glutes from receiving an optimal training stimulus. I also feel it when the hip area gets stretched, like in a lunge or RFESS (resting leg) and a little bit if i squat below parallel.If you want your barbell hip thrust pad to be secure and not risk it moving or shifting around, consider getting a squat bar pad with straps. Another little thing I really like about this pad is the small loop at the end of the pad which means you can easily carry it to the gym and hang it when not in use. The heavy squat pads allow you to work out comfortably without worrying about your barbell moving around. They’re designed for uneven weight distribution, perfect if it’s been a while since doing strong compound exercises like deadlifts or squats.
