9023/1 Barbell Pad Hip Thrust

BARBELL PAD HIP THRUST - Barbell Pad for Hip Thrust

The Hip Thrust Barbell Pad is a double thickness barbell pad designed for the Hip Thrust exercise. Standard barbell pads (code 9023) designed to support the bar on the upper back. The thickness of standard padding is thin because it must allow the barbell to be positioned correctly, whereas for the Hip Thrust it is necessary to use larger, less soft padding. It is no coincidence that makeshift solutions are often seen; rolled mats, cushions, pieces of rubber etc.

The Barbell Pad Hip Thrust is therefore characterised by a high padding thickness and the use of a high-density foam covered with robust PVC in order to obtain a firm, as well as padded, cushion that is able to attenuate the high pressure of the barbell. The finish is excellent, especially with regard to the stitching and the size of the Velcro.

The PVC coating completely covers the padding, even in the part on the inside that is in contact with the barbell. This prevents the coating from shifting, as happens on barbell pads with the cylinder coated only on the outside. The closure is double: 5 cm flap on the outside and a divisible zip on the inside to prevent the barbell from slipping through the opening when it is rotated to position it.

The Barbell Pad Hip Thrust can also be used in the manner of a board press, i.e. as a shim between the barbell and the chest in certain bench press exercises where ROM (range of motion) shortening is required. This is clearly an approximate application, but it has the advantage that it can also be used without one or more assistants, as is the case with wooden shims.
