Premium Hip Thrust and Squat Pad - Non-Slip Barbell Pad for Comfortable Squats, Lunges, Glute Bridges; Built-In Safety Straps, Reinforced PU Leather Cover - Olympic Bar and Smith Machine

I’ve had this for almost 3 years and it has never given me an issue. Its thick and the velcro is still very strong

When I tell you that this pad is SO comfortable, I mean it. I used to use a basic hip pad that would leave me bruises on my hips all the time. Mind you, I typically lift around 135 pounds for hip thrusts and when I would just use the barbell, it would hurt so bad, I wouldn't be able to do as many reps as I wanted. This hip thrust pad is a lifesaver! It's compact, comfortable, and I no longer get bruises on my hip bones. 10/10 purchase.

One of the best at last... I have recently taken weight training to a new level working out with a friend.I’d been struggling with the inferior pads at the two gyms I work out in and have bruised the top of my spine on occasions squatting with the barbell.I ordered a pad off amazon previously but it was utterly useless - falling off and not even meeting round the bar.I was refunded.I’ve only used the RivalHippo pad a few times and it is excellent quality fitting snuggly round an Olympic barbelland fastening with the Velcro. This enables me to train harder without fear of bruising or hurting my back.It is lightweight and easy to pop on top of my gym bag.Shame that gyms that charge an arm and a leg for membership don’t invest in a few of these! Very happy 😃After sales service is excellent, they care a lot about their customer. You feel it when you buy their product.

It works great. My only complaint is that when I’m doing hip thrusts, is that if you don’t turn it to where it’s off the Velcro it will hurt because it has no cushion there. It’s great for cost.

I bought this for hip thrusting. I really like it, it is high quality and looks new still after using for 6 months. It’s quite thick and sturdy and very comfortable. A couple minor things to note is that first, if you don’t position it correctly on the barbell it might twist around so the closure is facing down and this is pretty uncomfortable since that’s the place that has no padding. Second, the velcro occasionally catches on my leggings. It’s not a huge problem but I can see how one side of the leggings I always wear when I hip thrust has several catches on the upper thigh.

I used this for the first time the other day and didn’t feel a THING. I lift decently heavy on my heavy days (over 300lbs. for the hip thrust) and most every pad I’ve used is garbage and isn’t remotely thick enough. I was actually able to focus on my lift and NOT being distracted by being uncomfortable. I am just so pleased with this. I’ll report back after some time to tell you how it’s held up.

Decided to buy my own hip thrust pad because the gym ones were a hit or miss with staying in place, or over used. Took my time searching for one and came across this one and it checked every box of details I wanted. The velcro closure, the opposite closure tabs, and the wipeable material. I've been using it for a few months now in workout sessions myself and my friends and we all love it. Cushioned enough for Hip thrusts and BB squats if desired.

I hardly ever write reviews but I had to rave about this pad cause it's 🙌🙌🙌. I use this pad for heavy hip thrusts, so I can't say how they work for squats, etc... I bought this because I was tired of folding the mats at the gym that aren't meant for a bar into a taco shape, or the "pool noodle-esque" ones that go around the bar, that constantly roll around and fall off. This pad is awesome - No rolling, super sturdy but perfect amount of padding, and the cover is not some cheap cloth/poly. If you're looking for "the one," this is it. You won't regret it.
