It wasn’t painful at first, so i ignored the bruises and kept on hip-thrusting, but after 3 weeks the bruises had gotten worse and i started getting a pain and a warm feeling in that area, which got worse and worse and to the point where i had to stop doing all exercises that involved the hip/hip flexors. Instead of using a barbell pad, choose a lighter weight and then progressively add load over time as you get more experienced. “All this to say, that the stronger you get, the less you need the pad,” Delgado-Lugo says. Unlike many options in the same price range, this comes with a tough fabric exterior for more durability. Just remember to take it off the bar when you're done—someone else would be glad to have it! What We Like There are various ways to secure or attach the pad to a barbell. The choice here depends mainly on the weight you’ll lift rather than opting for a hassle-free design. To help make your hip thrusts even better and maximize the effectiveness, follow these tips... Find your ideal foot position

As you get stronger and begin pushing serious weight, and the bar is balanced on your upper thighs, you will want to provide protection and padding between yourself and the bar. Support: Ready to push yourself further and harder? 'Having the barbell pad gives adequate support, allowing you to achieve more reps, making them easier and more efficient,' says Campus. While some lifters might debate whether they’re good for squats, they’re undebatable regarding hip thrusts. If you don’t mind splurging a little more to invest in a serious bar pad that offers high quality in terms of materials and features, consider this one from Plan4U.Not sure where to start? We've narrowed down the main factors to consider when shopping for barbell pads: 1.Material 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 😉 Moreover, a versatile hip thrust cushion that works for various exercises, such as hip thrusts, squats, bench presses, and lunges, should keep your body contours in mind throughout these exercises. Not everyone needs a barbell pad, so we've included some versatile alternatives too. It's all about finding the right balance between comfort and functionality. Technique: Effective strength training is all about good technique. 'With a good quality barbell pad, you can easily find your balance and posture, as it is comfortable.'

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.Synthetic leather is an excellent option in that case because it also doesn’t absorb the moisture, so it doesn’t smell. Do You Really Need A Pad For Hip Thrusts? You can lift heavier weights without bruising your pelvis. Instead of bruising yourself up and being conservative with the number of plates you load on the bar, you can chase heavier weights without the fear of gnashing up your hips. The square bottom prevents the barbell from rolling away when you are doing your hip thrusts, and the Velcro closure keeps the pad secured to the bar when training. The flat bottom also makes it ideal for padding the barbell when doing bench press and you don’t want to risk bouncing the bar off your chest.

Do you realize that it has been almost five years since you unveiled the barbell HT? My how time flies!Through experimenting with different bench heights, I believe the optimal bench height is around 16 inches. This is what most clients feel most comfortable with which is why I designed The Hip Thruster to be this height. Taller individuals might feel more comfortable with a taller bench and shorter lifters with a shorter bench. In general, a range of 13″-19″ will satisfy 99% of lifters. I recommend that you experiment to figure out a height that allows for an easy set-up and a height that allows you feel the most activation in the glutes. Plant your feet firmly on the ground a few inches ahead of you and place them close to shoulder-width apart. When frequently using a barbell during a weight training session, a barbell pad made of supportive foam will significantly help to minimise the stress of the barbell on your body, especially during exercises like squats where the heavy bar would normally rest right on your skin,' she adds. I recommend that everybody use a high-quality barbell hip cushion when hip thrusting. Doing so will relieve some pressure from your hip bones, making the exercise more comfortable and preventing bruising. A hip thirst pad is much more secure and protective than using a rolled-up yoga mat or piece of clothing to cushion the bar. What is the Padding Called for Hip Thrusts? Tough guy stigma aside, pads can help reduce discomfort and pressure on your hips, allowing you to focus on squeezing those glutes without the distraction of barbell-induced discomfort. (You can even use them in hip thrust machines.)

Hip thrust pads, as they have become more popular in gyms, are starting to come in different shapes and sizes.

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. One thing you need to always keep in mind while you’re in a gym is that the equipment there isn’t always clean. A lot of hands touch these barbells, and you land them on your body. If your hip thrust numbers are going through the roof and no other pad seems to seem to be able to hold the bar in place, then this pad is for you. With 3.5 inches of solid protection, it's downright luxurious. Also known as squat or hip thrust pads (they can also be used to make lunges more comfortable), a barbell pad is essentially foam cushioning to protect you from the barbell (and the barbell from you!) when you lift heavy weights. But the right pad can also help you train more efficiently, improve your technique and enable you to push yourself further.
