the people that use those bar pads always seem to just leave them on the bars
really pisses me off
one day i opened a window and threw one out, i was really iratble that day and that just set me off

true those foam rubber things are a disgrace...but whats worse is when people wrap a towel around the bar.

I've seen many people use foam pads on the bench in order to get a better bounce and not crack their sternum.

I use the pad when I squat and I have great traps, just more of a comfort thing for me.

If I dont I have to concertrate on the bar digging into my neck.

 

[longarms]

the bar's not even close to my neck when I squat.

(but I used to use the pad and gloves)

my hands are like brillo pads.

Wow, some people really have some disdain for that foam pad. At least they're doing squats, right? I think it's all a matter of preference. I know some guys who squat much more than I probably ever will and they use that pad. If you can stand using it, then why not? A heavy bar on the shoulders/lower neck will affect you over time.

Personally I like to have the bare bar on my shoulders, but as my weights keep going up I think about using that pad more and more.

I like the feeling of the bar on my back. I must be a masochist.
