💪 Boosts confidence for big lifts: A lot of reviewers feel they can push harder on glute/leg workouts because the pad lets them focus on movement without shoulder pain.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my Olympic bar?
A: Yes — it’s designed to fit both 2″ Olympic diameter bars and standard bars.
Q: Does this pad slide around during squats or hip thrusts?
A: Most users report it stays securely on the bar during reps, but be sure the pad is pushed up snugly and centered before lifting.
Q: Is this pad easy to wash?
A: Yes — the outer cover wipes clean easily with gym wipes or a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, air dry only.
Q: Will the pad interfere with quick transitions between exercises?
A: It adds a bit of bulk, so transitions might feel slightly bulkier compared to no pad — but the comfort trade‑off is worth it for many.
