Used it for the first time during heavy lunges and honestly forgot it was there—the padding sits so evenly that the bar doesn't dig into my neck at all. It stayed in place through the whole set, which is more than I can say for a foam tube I tried before.

Finally a pad that actually stays put during lunges—no more readjusting between every set. The foam is dense enough that the bar doesn’t dig in, even with 225 on my back. It’s made squat day feel like a completely different exercise.

My shoulders used to feel wrecked after heavy front squats, but this pad’s even cushioning across the bar makes the whole set way more tolerable. It’s firm enough that it doesn’t slide around mid-rep, which was my biggest worry.
