Review on Squat Bar Pad - Comfortable Foam Sponge Pad For Squats, Lunges, And Hip Thrusts - Protects Neck And Shoulders During Workouts by Amador Buckenmeyer

review update:downgrading to one star. Only had this pad a short time. it's worthless. can't really use it without the velcro straps, and they are super cheaply made. snapped in half when I was sinching them closed. didn't take much force at all. try something else._____original review_____The velcro fasteners are separate, not attached. The look small, flimsy and easily misplaced. We'll see how that works out. The sleeve isn't much use without them: It opens up and comes off easily without a fastener.Even with the velcro fasteners tightened down, the sleeve doesn't stay tightly closed for long. Using it over the course of a set loosens the fasteners and causes the sleeve to open a gap up, which can be inconvenient. I wish I had bought a different design that has the velcro stitched on, and not just in two places but all the way along the opening. I'll keep using this one for now, but I am skeptical that it will last.
