Barbell Hip Thrust Pad
HIPS ARMOUR® is the only barbell pad designed specifically for the hip thrust exercise. Its conception considered all the above aspects to bring the first ever pain-free hip thrust barbell pad.
Design/shape, ergonomics, material durability, material pressure-absorbing capabilities, material density, pad thickness, pad diameter, friction and rotating forces, have been meticulously analysed, evaluated and tested to create the best barbell pad for hip thrust in the market.
What is best, HIPS ARMOUR® not only solves the issues when hip thrusting moderate to heavy loads. It also “guides” you to keep optimal technique. Barbell Hip Thrust Pad
The foundation of hip thrust is hip extension. Spine movement should be limited and minimised while hip flexo-extension occurs. Pelvis should remain in a neutral position, and maybe slightly posteriorly tilted at the top of the movement when hips are fully extended.
A common mistake is excessively tilting the pelvis anteriorly at the bottom of the exercises (hip flexed). If that happens, HIPS ARMOUR® pad might rotates slightly forward. Best Barbell Pad for Hip Thrusts
Another mistake might be to move the barbell away from the optimal position (between the two prominent pelvis bones (anterior superior iliac crests) and the pubic bone) towards the femur (making the exercises less challenging) in an attempt to lockout or reach full hip extension. In that case, HIPS ARMOUR® may slightly rotates forward. The barbell should be held firmly in placed throughout the entire range of motion with minimal pelvis motion. HIPS ARMOUR® rotation is a sign of excessive pelvis motion or an attempt to move the barbell away from its optimal position.
When executing with proper form, HIPS ARMOUR® perfectly keeps the ideal position with no rotation ensuring the best performance possible.
