I needed a bit of padding for one of my barbells as I do Seated Calf Raises and using any reasonable amount of weight meant that the bar was digging into and bruising the tops of my legs just above the knees.So I bought the 1" Barbell Pad from York. As with all York's gear (well, certainly the stuff I've bought), it's well made and sturdy. It fits snugly on my 5ft, 1" bar and I was able to put 100kg on without having any problems. In that past, I've been using pillows just above my knees but this pad does the job 101% better (and it stops my wife nagging me when I take them from her side of the bed).The only downside is that I've found that you need to position it just right, with the opening at the top.

Bought this to use with my spare barbell in my home gym and wasn't disappointed. It comes in two parts, the foam middle which is cut to easily place over the barbell and then the outer padding which is wrapped around this and held in place with Velcro. This is great because it means its easy and fast to remove if you are wanting to do dead lifts with your hands close together and then you can easily pop it back on to do squats. The pad is large enough to accommodate those with broad shoulders and is very comfortable. The outer padding is quite robust so it should last a long long time. A great and cheap addition to make squats more bearable.

This pad does not fit an olimpic bar, but for a standard bar it does the job just fine, the foam is a high density tube with one side cut through so you can slip it on your bar (and not thread it onto the bar from the end) and the cover is vinal so can be wiped clean from sweat/dirt it's little thin but it's only there to hold the foam in place.The pad takes away a lot of the discomfort across the shoulders/traps and alowed me to put all my effort into good squats instead of being distracted by the discomfort.I'm realy glad i bought this item as before i avoided doing squats but now I enjoy squats and I only wish I bought it sooner.

Brought one of these as the pain on my shoulder blades whilst squatting large weights was becoming unbearable. As pointed out in a previous review, the padding does not fit all the way around the bar, however if you position it so the gap is not directly on your shoulders/upper back then this isn't an issue. Apart from this the pad has been brilliant. I can squat large weights without waking the next day with bruised shoulders and using it doesn't effect technique or unbalance the barbell whilst squatting. If you can't bare the pain invest in one of these.

Looks so basic - but this has really improved my squatting ability. I've been able to add 20k to 30k to what I was squatting - purely through adding this to my barbell. Not only did it make the bar much more comfortable on my upper back, but it also made the bar much more stable on my back. It became clear that that had been restricting what I could squat - and this was a simple and very effective remedy. Really impressed by it.

I have been using this Barbell Pad for a few days now and what a difference it makes, when doing squats i was getting fed up with my neck and shoulders aching every time i did a set of squats, it is very comfortable to use and does not allow the bar to move and more importantly it allows me to move onto heavier weights with no added discomfort so i can recommend this product good price and does the job

Not much to say about this, it's a foam roll with a cutout so it just snaps onto the bar, then the vinyl cover goes over it. Makes squats a lot more comfortable so you can just concentrate on the lift.Also found you can stick it on the end of the bar when you're done, stops it marking the wall if you store it against one.

I bought this instore where the price is much higher than on Amazon and still find it was worth the price.Exellent product and comes with the red cover which is smooth and soft. Allows for a more comfortable weight training session.Long lasting and good quality, will buy again if anything happens to my current one!

Was not expecting much for the price but this turned out to be a great addition to my bench. I do agree with others about the velcro coming open if placed a certain way on your back but resolved this by using electrical tape around the foam insert then wrapping it in the original outer. Hasn't done it since.

I bought it to pad the stands I use for dips: for that aim, it's perfect. Its dimensions and softness are ideal also as a barbell pad.The only cons is the external shell which is detached from the internal pad: it does not matter to me for the use I make of it, but, as a barbell pad it could be annoying.

I was looking for something to give extra support for my neck when doing squats, this pad fits the standard barbell and provides great comfort meaning I could do more leg/back training! The pad wraps around the bar easily and doesn't give too much movement when training. Would definitely recommend.

I love this barbell pad!!Not only does it give you the support on your neck for squats but also, used on seated barbell calf raises, it gives support on the knees for calf raises.Cheap, easy to put on the bar. Fits perfectly and, above all, extremely comfortable....

Does the job, there's quite a big gap in the foam tube when it's pushed on the bar so for best comfort you want to rotate that away from your shoulders, but it's otherwise fine. Can be a bit fiddly to get the outer sleeve velcroed tightly.

I brought this for my body pump bar. I made the mistake of buying a 2” pad before this and it was way to bulky. I took another reviewers advice and cable tied it under the Velcro wrap around. Does the job fine.

Worth every penny, more than enough padding too. I was tempted on the extra thick one but the offset of the bar on your back would create too much moment on your back. This one does the job
