Virtee Barbell Pad for Squats, Lunges and Hip Thrusts - Weight Lifting Bar Cushion Pad Protector for Neck and Shoulder - Fit Standard and Olympic Bars

Recently started adding in some hip thrusts on leg days and was limited because of the pain from the bar digging into my hips. This pad has been a lifesaver for me and allowed me to add weight and decrease the pain. I have not used this as a pad for squats or any other purpose so can’t comment on that. However, if you do hip thrusts this will help!!

I work out at the gym 5 days a week and I always lift heavy but I'm very bony in terms of my hip bones and my pubic bone. After I've reached 180 lb on my hip thrust I started to feel a lot of pressure and weight with this hip pad doesn't seem sufficient for people who are heavy lifters more than 200 lb might run into some trouble..

Use this primarily for hip thrusts and it works great! Padding is definitely thick enough to provide excellent comfort without being too bulky. Didn’t think I would like the straps (as opposed to easy Velcro closure) but I actually do like them and feel they provide better stability of the pad on the bar. Also appreciate there’s multiple color options - I got the red. Super satisfied with this purchase!

I was able to do 5x10 at 320lbs hip thrust very comfortably. The pad remained still and prevented the bar from digging in.

We have a home gym, and my wife is not used to how uncomfortable the bar can be by itself and this pad has helped my wife feel more confident as a beginning lifter of weights. The Concave neck area makes a huge impact because it conforms to the body and put the pressure of the lift over the shoulders, not the neck like other pads do. Great piece of equipment!!

I purchased this for pelvic thrusts because without one, the bar would dig into my pelvic bones as my weights were increasing. Totally solved this problem!! Cute, compact design and would definitely recommend.

Like this pad and the color options. Wish the opening was not so big and a bit more snug around the bar. You need to use the black Velcro straps to keep secure.

This product is awesome. Just used it in my garage gym for hip thrusts and am quite impressed. Not only is it thicker than the ones I used to use at the gym...but um...it's available in PINK. (Heck. Yes.) The provided straps are a nice addition, although I'm not certain they're necessary; the pad stays in place for hip thrusts quite nicely. Very happy with this product!
