AbMat Zercher Pad

AbMat’s Zercher Pad is the first barbell pad designed specifically for Zercher squats, carries and lunges. Athletes merely need to press the pad onto a racked barbell (it fits both 28mm and 25mm Oly bar shafts) to instantly create a modified specialty bar. 

The 28” long Zercher Pad weighs less than 2 LBS and is Made in the USA from a soft antimicrobial molded foam that’s still strong and durable enough for day to day use. Once attached, the pad eliminates much of the discomfort associated with Zercher movements, specifically the placement of the barbell in the elbow crease. If you’ve used knee sleeves or yoga mats for this purpose in the past, consider this the inevitable upgrade.

The patent pending concept for the Zercher Pad began with AbMat team member Christina Lazo, a powerlifter in St. Louis who wanted to tackle her Zercher Squats with less pain. After over 12 months of development, the AbMat Zercher Pad was born.
