This barbell shoulder pad is a padded accessory designed to be placed around the barbell during weightlifting exercises. It helps reduce discomfort and prevent bruising or soreness caused by direct contact of the barbell with the skin and collarbones. It also helps stabilise the barbell, allowing for better control and technique during lifts such as squats, military presses, and shoulder presses.
 
The barbell shoulder pad is especially beneficial for individuals lifting heavy weights or those with sensitive skin or shoulder discomfort. It's versatile and can be used in various settings such as gyms, fitness centres, home gyms, and training studios.
 
To use the shoulder pad, slide it onto the barbell until it is centred over the area you want to protect. When performing lifts, ensure the pad is securely positioned and comfortable. Adjust your grip and stance as usual, and focus on maintaining proper form to maximise safety and effectiveness.
