The simple yet intelligent construction of this pad works perfectly to both cushion your body from the bar and hold the bar in the desired position across your hips.

The hard plastic insert on the top makes this the best I have tried for hip thrusts BUT there is an annoying tendency for the bar to roll off this pad while getting setup. If the pad was wider by several inches then this would not be a hassle. I think you should make a larger size.

I don’t dread hip thrusters anymore. Great product.

It's hard to tell from the photos what this product actually looks like and you obviously can't tell what it would feel like. I initially assumed this looked almost like a sandbag but it's far from that. I mainly purchased this HTP because I wanted an easy to use pad for barbell hip thrusts that doesn't require velcro, straps, or any extra effort in set up. For this requirement, it is fine and I can do the exercise. It should be used with the Rogue logo facing up since there's a layer of hard plastic on that side, which is key. However for $50, my main criticism is that I would have expected a better fit. This item is essentially a layer of foam padding and a layer of a thin, harder material (plastic sheet?) on top that both flex well so that your bar will get enveloped by the pad. I think I'd have preferred if the outer canvas/nylon wrapping would actually be sized to fit tighter with the inner foam padding. There is like a good 1/2 to 1 inch of excess wrapping around the pad (like an oversized pillow case) that feels less than premium and loose.

I purchased this recently and tried it out but was very disappointed. The mat is to slippery that my Ohio bar just moves all over the place, not safe! I would just buy a piece of foam from a craft shop. I do not reccomend this product. I can still use it as a kneeling pad.

great for the first few weeks after it is losing its stability. Good under a belt but would avoid using them on hip trusts with a bar.

purchased to do hipthrust cannot do them with this piece of garbage

This pad is amazing for hip thrusts. It supports the weight across my hips and I don't have to worry about bruising any more. Can't recommend this pad enough. Just use it logo side up and you're good to go
