Choose Strong

Founded in 1988 by fitness enthusiast and entrepreneur David McCrane, Harbinger swiftly became the brand of choice for weight lifters and strength trainers worldwide. It began with an innovative Wrist-Stabilizing Glove. Originally intended to mitigate wrist injuries for skateboarders, McCrane quickly realized the benefit of his product for weight lifters. Teaming up with 8-time Mr. Olympia body builder Lee Haney, they pioneered Harbinger as the source for high quality, carefully engineered gloves, belts and strength training accessories. Since then, Harbinger has expanded into weight lifting accessories, including wraps, straps and speed ropes. With proprietary technology and advanced design, Harbinger drives the category and continues to deliver new, innovative products.

The squat pads at the gym are always broken and gross so I wanted to get my own. The first one I got was much bigger, which was sort of good, but I like this one better because it fits easily in my gym bag so I always have it with me, and it is enough padding for what I need.

After using this bar pad for the last 4-5 months I can say that is has gotten enough time to prove itself, and it has done just that. This pad holds up, provides incredible support, and fits perfectly around an Olympic Bar. I have been using it for my squats, and the most weight I have ever done with it would be around 275. I couldn't imagine trying to do that without this pad!

As for whether it holds up when you put more weight on I can't say. Even if I had to buy this yearly or twice a year it would be worth it! It is not worth risking any injury to your muscles or bone structure by lifting without one. So to who ever might say it's not worth it, or that it's weak, isn't in it for the gains or weight lifting.

I would highly recommend this pad, it has beat several others in my opinion and works perfectly for the situation!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great thin olympic bar pad
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2014
Style: Olympic 16-InchVerified Purchase
This is a great pad. It fits perfectly around an olympic bar pad - the closure doesn't wrap around, the two velcro'ed ends meet, which creates a smoother surface. Keep in mind, this isn't one of those really thick and big bar pads that you'll often see at the gym - the really big, cushy ones. This one is sturdy foam, which makes the bar less of a burden on your back as opposed to the big ones, but also decreases the cushion. To be honest, as long as you're holding it right for squats (or other similar exercises), it shouldn't be a big issue. My husband loves this, he says the ones at the gym are too bulky whereas this one fits on his back better. The only exercise I would recommend a larger pad for is glute bridges, only because I've felt bruised if there's not enough padding. But for squats, good mornings, lunges, etc, this is great, and at a very fair price. Just don't forget to take it off the bar at the gym when you leave the rack! (I've had to buy two because of this - since they've gotten stolen! I now marked mine like a preschooler by writing my name on it in huge letters with White-Out. Don't judge me, it works.)

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018
Style: Olympic 16-InchVerified Purchase
Have really gotten into doing heavier squats (for me at least) and working my way up in weights. But I was getting some non-visible bruises along the base of my neck because of the bar rest on my spine.

I looked at several options for these pads. I like this one because it seems very minimal. It's not super padded and bulky, which is good thing. It provides just enough padding to prevent the potential "injury" without making it seem like the bar isn't resting on my shoulders and back like it should be. I also like the simple black over some of the more gaudy options on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fit for Olympic Barbell
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014
Style: Olympic 16-InchVerified Purchase
I purchased this bar pad to go with my Olympic Barbell Cap 7' 0B-86B and it fits perfectly. This particular Olympic barbell has an ideal thickness of 28mm. I can even fit my finger partially under this bar pad which means that greater than 28mm barbells will work as well. Thicker barbells make it harder to grip and most people prefer 28mm, 28.4/5mm, 29mm barbells.

This bar pad easily fits the 28mm barbell I have wiggle room for thicker barbells. At the gym I avoid using thick barbells for bench pressing. Even for squats I avoid 31mm+ barbells. I use chalk instead of gloves because it makes gripping the bar easier (especially for dead lifts).

The bar pad has alleviated that uncomfortable feeling of the barbell contacting my body when doing squats. I have been using this bar pad without any issue since I received it. I do squats three days a week and this bar pad is well worth the money.

I'm not certain why one of the reviewers told people "buyer beware." There is nothing wrong with this bar pad. The reviewer claiming this product is a "waste of money" makes me wonder if he received a bad bar pad and needed a replacement ... something that could have easily been fixed by contacting the manufacturer. Unless someone is using an irregular sized Olympic bar there should not be any fitment issue. Although I do not have a 32mm Olympic barbell to test fit this pad ... there is plenty of wiggle room left on my 28mm barbell.

I came back to review after using it for a while. Very good quality, fits general Olympic bar perfectly (very tight)! I guess the other option with larger diameter might be a bit loose on the Olympic bar.

Reviewed in Canada on November 15, 2016
Style: Standard 14-InchVerified Purchase
I've had this product for less than 3 months, however it has been pretty good for me so far. I have a squat rack at home and unfortunately my neck/shoulders bruise easily when I do squats. With this product I've been able to solve that problem. So far it's holding on quite good. As an important notice, this product will only work with 1 inch std bars, so if you have an Olympic style bar then you should definitely buy another product.
