FOAM PADS FOR HIP THRUSTS, REALLY?
Foam material has significant limitations in terms of absorbing pressure. When hip thrusting, it's only comfortable with light to moderate weights but not with heavy loads. With its usage, foam properties fade away and even with moderate weight it becomes painful
SPONGY FOAM PADS FOR HIP THRUST, REALLY?
After several weeks of usage, foam pads start to crack specially where the barbell sits, and pads stop working properly even with light to moderate weights.
SOFT EXTERIOR
Medium-density special material provides an ideal softness for maximum comfort when in contact with the body.
HARD INTERIOR
High-Density special material structure where the barbell sits to alleviate pressure and maximise durability
WHAT TO CONSIDER FOR AN IDEAL HIP THRUST BARBELL PAD?
Currently, yoga mats and squat barbell pads are used in an attempt to protect the hips bones and pelvis while performing hip thrust (and glute bridge). However, these items have been designed and m...
FAQS
What’s the main difference between a foam barbell pad and HIPSHELL?
The main difference between a barbell pad and Hipsarmour is the material. Instead of cheap foam with poor durability and pressure absorption capabilities, Hipsarmour is made of PU (Polyurethane). PU is the highest level of durability, abrasion resistance, and absorbing pressure capabilities. To ensure extreme durability, Hipsarmour combines two different densities. An inner part of greater density where the bar is in contact with, and an outer part of the pad with a lower density so that it adapts to the body and provides enhanced comfort.
How does HIPSHELL help optimize hip thrust technique?
When hip thrusting, the goal is to lift the barbell vertically without generating any rotation in the barbell. Rotation can be caused by excessive motion of the pelvis, pushing the barbell away from the pelvis towards the thighs (very common) or not lifting the barbell vertically but diagonally forwards or backwards. All of the above make the hip thrust less effective and efficient. Hipsarmour might slightly rotate while you perform the movement with incorrect form, giving you instant feedback of how well you are executing the exercise. When there is no rotation involved, you can feel your glutes working harder, making the exercise more effective.
