A squat pad is a padded cushion that wraps around a barbell to provide comfort and support during exercises like barbell squats, hip thrusts, and lunges. It reduces the pressure on your neck, shoulders, and hips, making the movement more comfortable and reducing the risk of bruising or discomfort from the barbell's weight.
Benefits of Using a Squat Pad:
Comfort: Reduces pressure on sensitive areas like the neck, shoulders, and hips.
Safety: Helps avoid bruising or pinching of the skin.
Stability: Provides better grip and stability during exercises.
Versatility: Can be used for squats, hip thrusts, Bulgarian split squats, and more.
