A barbell hip thrust pad wraps around the bar so the load spreads across the front of the hips instead of pressing into the hip bones — for most people that is what makes heavier barbell hip thrusts bearable. It works on any bench setup, and it is the cheapest item in any hip thrust setup. You do not need one on a belt-loaded machine like the Bells of Steel.
Pros
- Makes barbell hip thrusts far more comfortable across the hips
- Works with any barbell and bench setup
