Product Information

However, not all barbell pads are created equal... Some might not be up to your lifting standards. Fortunately, our UPPPER Barbell Pads were tested thoroughly and were concluded to be a solution to making barbell hip thrusts more comfortable 😉

Trying to crank ROM up top to mirror Bret’s freaky hip hyperextension abilities may force you into lumbar hyperextension if you are not that mobile. BC is able to get the bar above the midline without excessive lumbar extension.If you’re on a tight budget but still looking for a decent option, you might want to consider the Lxuemlu barbell pad. This one offers decent pads that are easy to use without breaking the bank. To use this kind of thrust pad, you only need to slip the barbell into the crevice of the barbell pad. After that, you must wrap the straps from both ends and pull them tightly.

Comfort and SupportThe glute bridge works the same muscles as the hip thrust but is unweighted, so it works both as a handy alternative when you don’t have access to equipment and as a stepping-stone exercise for those who need to build some strength and confidence before resting a barbell across their thighs. Unfortunately, many lifters struggle to feel their glutes while hip thrusting and instead feel the load on the hamstrings or the quadriceps. To maximize your results, you have to do it right, meaning with good form and technique. As part of our quest to introduce as much animal print to our fitness gear as possible, we had to include this leopard print barbell pad from FITGIRL.
