About this product
This generic barbell squat pad is designed to protect the neck and shoulders during squats and lunges. Priced at $11.99, it slips onto the barbell to provide cushioning. No specific material or weight details are given, but it targets comfort for exercises that put pressure on the upper back.
Our take
For $11.99, this pad makes a noticeable difference. It slides onto the bar easily and provides enough padding to take the edge off during squats. The foam is dense but could be thicker for heavier loads. After a few sessions, it's held up without tearing. My only gripe is that it can shift if not positioned right, but once set, it stays put. It's a simple, affordable way to improve comfort—recommended for anyone starting back squats.
