Squatting with or without pad

[bignate73]

there are 2 natural grooves. a high bar, and low bar. even if you havent that much muscle, the high bar shouldnt bother you. If you have some development, low bar shouldnt be a problem either.

the pad is nice if you dont want "bites" from the bar i guess. but it shifts the bar up throws off your bar path and offers some instability when holding it. Sounds good for people not handling any weight, any sort of weight on the bar, and I want it pinned to my body, not floating on some foam.

I'm not a big guy at all, and I would never use the pad, I think its a mental thing, you want to belive it helps, but is much more of a pain in the ass than help!!!
