When should i use a barbell pad?

A Vantage Strength Barbell Pad is typically used when performing exercises with a barbell that put pressure on the shoulders or neck. The pad can be attached to the barbell to provide extra cushioning and support, which can help reduce discomfort and prevent injury.

Here are some exercises where you may want to consider using a barbell pad:

  1. Squats: Barbell squats place a lot of pressure on the shoulders and neck. A barbell pad can help distribute the weight more evenly and make the exercise more comfortable.

  2. Lunges: Like squats, lunges can also put pressure on the shoulders and neck. Using a barbell pad can help reduce discomfort and prevent injury.

  3. Hip thrusts: Hip thrusts are a popular exercise for targeting the glutes. However, the barbell can dig into the hips and cause discomfort. Using a barbell pad can provide extra cushioning and make the exercise more comfortable.

Overall, if you experience discomfort or pain while performing exercises with a barbell, using a Vantage Strength Barbell Pad can be a good option to help alleviate those issues.
