I have been lucky enough to use this pad regular at my gym (I am in Germany). Let me tell you, I have used everything in an attempt to find the optimal padding over the years. The average rolls might be ok at a lower weight, but once you go high up, it becomes painful. Not with this pad. It is big enough to spread the weight evenly across your hip, not having you feel a painful pressure against the hip-bones (I suffered, a LOT). At the same time it's small enough so you stay in control, balancing out the bar just perfectly. You can focus entirely on your exercise with this (as it should be!) without struggling around on suboptimal other solutions while doing hipthrusts (and we ladies know - the thrust is a must ;) ). I whole-heartedly and sincerely can say that this is by far the best hipthrust solution in my opinion (using barbells!) and worth the money. I go so far as to say, I wished this became a standard piece of equipment in all gyms, as much as having a back-roll. Please you guys, find a way to sell this across Europe somehow. The shipping and taxing fees on top of tge purchas proce, make it very expensive to get on my side if the world.

You wouldn't think it would make that much difference compared to a squat pad, but it actually does. The secret is that one side of the pad is hard-ish plastic and the other is soft padding. The barbell goes on the hard side and distributes the weight more evenly through the soft part. The price still seems a tad steep for what you actually get, but it does work and I'm not sure there's anything else like it on the market.

Best experience I've had with Hip thrusts. It really distributes the weight well across the hip area. No discomfort when hip thrusting for me.

Absolutely satisfied with the ABMAT Hip Thrust Pad. The quality is excellent and it makes heavy hip thrusts so much more comfortable. Would definitely recommend it to anyone serious about their training.

Not sure what you dorks are complaining about. The pad is exactly as advertised. Not too big, not too small. The rigid padding on the bar side does a good job of distributing the weight. The softer hip side is comfortable. If you’re doing weighted hip thrusts, buy this pad.

I was very excited to have this pad. Tested it and wondering if I am using it wrong or if its just awkward. Hard to get underneath the bar to position it. It takes a little getting used to I would imagine. Wondering if I should return this and get the bar pad. Purchase this thinking that the pad would be wider for people with wider hips vs the bar pad. Since the bar pad is ideally for shoulders/back which is not as wide as your hips.

I used this for the first time today and idk why I didn’t buy it sooner. I like how the weight gets distributed. I don’t need to adjust the roller pad anymore. Pad on lap, unrack bar. Simple and effective. I was surprised at the quality, there is a rigid pad inside, as well as soft padding. I would 100% suggest this for anyone who likes hip thrusts.

Excellent for hip thrusters. Covers the area for the bar perfectly without letting the bar move at all
