Review: Excellent for comfortable squatting! - I bought one of these 2 years ago to stop my back and shoulders getting sore from the heavy barbell during squats. This pad is brilliant- it's thick and provides very good cushioning to make squatting a lot more comfortable (well, as comfortable as can be expected when doing a heavy set of squats!). I actually ended up buying two more to put as cushions on the safety bars of my power rack, so that the bar does not clash against the safety bars during squats and bench press. The clashing can be very off-putting and distracting. Overall, very good product and does its job! Mine has lasted me 2 years and it's only in the last 6 months after HEAVY FREQUENT use it has started to fall apart, i.e. it fails to hold itself together very well anymore. Highly recommended.
Review: Solid and durable! - This barbell pad works great for me =) It is much thicker than other "standard" pads, but for me this works great, both on squats and also on calf raises as I usually have heavy weight on the Smith, and sit on a bench and lower it down to my knees, and use it for calf raise, and this padding protects my knees from the barbell. Recommended for all who need a solid barbell pad!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the velcro attached to the foam?**
A: Velcro is attached to the product

**Q: Is it the original pad or a fake as one of the buyers mentioned?**
A: This is the first time i have bought one so don't know if it's a fake. The pad is very comfortable when i am squatting with a decent amount of weight. The logo hasn't faded and i have the pad a long while and use it regularly and the pad has also kept it's shape.

**Q: My bar is not as thick as an Olympic, it’s just an Argos Opti bar so about 1 inch in diameter - would this hip thrust pad still wrap tight around it?**
A: Not tightly. This is better suited for an Olympic bar. But if you don't mind it sliding on the bar, it will still do the job on the argos bar and protect you

**Q: Would this work with an ez bar?**
A: No. Just a normal olympic barbell.
