Top Notch Barbell Pad

This barbell pad is exactly what I was looking for. Working out at home now avoiding public gyms and the potential of being part of the global epidemic, I have limitations. Luckily I already had a solid foundation of equipment. But I did not have a barbell rack or power rack. So bench press & barbell squats have been difficult. With this pad I've been able to roll the barbell onto my chest when laying down on my bench to do presses. With squats I've had to do less weight that I can lift over my head and place onto my back and shoulders. The pad makes this much more comfortable and has even allowed me to utilize more weight. The velcro is nice and tight Once velcro'd on, the pad does not move around. Excellent accessory for any gym rat who is working from home or likes to bring their own stuff to the gym.

Pros
  • Provides optimal weight distribution and balance during lifts
Cons
  • May irritate or compress nerves and blood vessels during use
