Beast Gear Barbell Pad

I bought this barbell pad for the gym because the one they have is always taken, and honestly I got tired of waiting around for it. For the price it was totally worth just getting my own. The size is exactly what I wanted for hip thrusts. Perfect fit. I think I said that already, but seriously, perfect. It’s super comfortable and I didn’t realize hip thrusts could actually feel this good. Because of that comfort, I’m even lifting more weight than I expected, which is a win for me. Quality feels great, it’s sturdy, and it doesn’t hurt or dig into me like some cheap pads do. Super easy to use too. You just open it, put it on the bar (the metal stick thing, you know what I mean), and start your set. Overall, love it.

Solid pad wraps around bar nice not loose like other pads. Great for hip thrust solid pad good price seems a bit longer the most as well.

I really had to tighten this down to the bar to prevent the bar from getting through the crack in the foam. Its tough to keep the foam connection facing up.

Great for squat lifting to build legs, reduces pressure on the neck. Very study and a good value for the money. Nice and thick.

does what is should, slides a bit. only bought for the logo

EXELENTE

Nice graphics

Bar keeps popping out of the cushioned part. Almost like it needs to be wrapped tighter

Almohadilla perfecta para entrenar. Buen almohadillado y buen cierre. Te puedes concentrar en hacer bien el ejercicio sin temor al inesperado golpe en el cuello porque se cae la almohadilla repentinamente. Suficientemente mullida para meter muchos kilos haciendo "hip thrust". Más económica que otras que he utilizado en muchos gimnasios con peores características.

Ottimo prodotto

great item

Barbell pads suit a variety of users including those with traps be it for squatting, hip thrusts, lunges, donkey calf raises on smith machines etc to name just a few. Given the wide range of people I train with pads come in handy at all stages of the workout program and certainly help when it comes to cushioning certain delicate areas of the body. I have had quite a few barbell pads over time many great and many not so. The biggest problems with some pads is that some aren't secure enough when fitted to a bar as they have no securing feature such as a flap of material that is held in place to stop it from falling off when performing the exercise. Another couple of issues that I have come across with some pads is that they either don't fit properly on to Olympic bars or if they do some will rotate due to having a too large a hole in the middle. I refer my pads to be fixed in place thereby giving an overall secure feeling which in effect other than the padded feeling you wouldn't really think that a pad was in place. Thankfully the pad from Beast Gear meets my minimum requirements in terms of fitment fine. The construction of the pad seems to be good with no apparent weaknesses especially the areas where the material is stitched at the ends and along the velcro fastening. Unlike similar designed pads there are not raised logos or badges to cause and uneven uncomfortable feeling when in use which through certain clothing is most noticeable. The material itself is of a good weave where unlike the vinyl coated types doesn't cause any slipping when positioned on the back, anyone who has tried the vinyl coated pads will know what I am relating to. The loop at the end of the pad helps wrap the securing flap tight which again if anyone has tried to do without such a feature will know how much of a fight it is given the small amount of fabric that can be gripped. Initially taking the pad out of the packaging the foam does has a slight odour which is common with many foam products that are sealed in their wrappers post production but give it time to air and it will be dissipate. In terms of comfort and effectiveness the pad works well in not only adding a little cushioning which comes in handy on big lifts but also doesn't feel over sized when performing some exercises such as barbell hip thrusts. For the money its a well made product that serves well.

L’utilisation de ce manchon a été très satisfaisante pour l'instant. Il permet de faire des squats en tout confort et est même pratique pour le développé couché et le soulevé de terre car il évite que la barre ne vienne rebondir sur la poitrine ou frotter sur les jambes. Il semble solide et tient relativement bien sur la barre (il bouge tout de même légèrement sur la mienne mais ça ne nuit pas à l'utilisation). A voir dans le temps pour la robustesse, donc.
