>those synthol traps
This seems like a silly thing to ridicule.
Why be unnecessarily uncomfortable?
Why not? Just because hurrr its not hardcore and manly?
If you want to be manly badass, why are you using convenient gym equipment like barbells to begin with? Go use construction site steel beams and sandbags for maximum discomfort
>>36029951
>>36029962
After a while the discomfort goes away, and the pussy pad always seems to "remove" you from the bar like you don't have a strong hold on it.
>>36029951
Because some people worry too much about what others think.
I don't personally use a pussy pad, but if it helps you squat more weight than more power to you I say.
>>36029951
>>36029962
Pussy pads are bad for form. You pussies.
>>36029962
I think that while not using the pussy pad, you know when the bar isn't in the right place and can correct yourself, as opposed to using it, when you can place it anywhere

>>36029951
>>36029962
it increases instability during the lift and it stops being uncomfortable if you keep your upper back tight like you should be doing anyways, but it's better to squat with it than not squat at all
I use it because it always bursts my capillaries and leaves red streaks across my back. Stretch marks are bad enough, I don't need more things for my lady to complain about when I take my shirt off.

My gym doesn't have the pussypad. So occasionally I see dyels using this thing on their neck/upper back instead.

>>36029951
Pussy pads are inherently bad for form and give you a false sense of security.
Just like gloves.
>>36030078
Something so funny about the spotter is holding himself.
>>36029909
I use the pussy pad on the instructions of my physio because of my fucked up, instable shoulder. Thick padding makes the bar in a less awkward position to hold and gives you less anterior displacement of the humeral head, making it safer for someone like me. Plus it *is* more comfy. Pls aware me on how it makes form worse. Only argument against it I can think of is that being able to feel less precisely where the bar is on the back might lead to some people placing it slightly crookedly but this is pretty easily fixed by looking in a mirror
>>36030277
Tightness is crucial in the squat and the pad is squishy
>>36030292
What do you mean by tightness? If you mean isometrically contracting your upper back muscles to stabilise your core and keep your thoracic spine rigid, then a slightly squishier surface that the bar is on should make little to no difference. You don't need to actually pull the bar into you, that's just a cue coaches use to get people to flex properly.
Plus under really heavy loads, I'd say the compression on the pad would make it just about as solid as the bar, just spread over a slightly wider surface area. I can see why you wouldn't use one in a powerlifting competition or something but just in everyday training, I see no reason why you shouldn't use one if you like them.

>>36029962
It is detrimental to your grip/ and squat. Since the bar is not on a stable place on your back it requires you to exert effort to keep it in place, which as you should know is bad for your arms. And good luck trying to do anything remotely heavy with a pad.

I have protruding clevicles man, I need that pussy pad to do front squats.
And I need to do front squats, because my quads are weak as fuck and I've been stuck on a 4pl8 1RM for a year now.
>>36031176
>Implying this kid isn't alpha as fuck
>implying its not super obvious that hes joking
Also yeah pussy pads make having good form almost impossible, it take a week tops to get used to squatting without it. You will never see anyone squatting over 2plaet using one.
If the bar is that fucking uncomfortable wear a sweatshirt, put your hood up, and squat like that.
>>36031341
Try resting your hands on your delts when you front squat, its a lot more comfortable that way
I tried the puss pad once and it didn't seem to make that much difference anyway. If you're squatting any respectable amount of weight it's gonna feel basically the same.
>>36029962
>construction site steel beams and sandbags for maximum discomfort
No joking, but matter of fact is, I do that.
>>36029909
Form.
>>36031386
I'm not the other dude but you mean the cross armed rack position or resting the bar on your hands, and your hands on your delts?
2bh both of those sound uncomfy as fuck. better use straps/pussy pad while he works on mobility
>>36030101

I don't see the problem here. If anything this should be a protest for the addition of squat pads in that gym. Even the African American fellow to the right is using a towel to protect his nape.

You can't use the center knurling of the bar to increase friction on your back. Makes the whole thing more wobbly and less secure imo
>>36029909

>>36032272
No, it's not. It came out after the video that they had a length of fishing line on each side lifting the weight for him. Pasically an invisible smith machine that does all the work for you (which, oddly enough, is how regular smith machines work).
>>36029951

>>36029973
At what weight does it become uncomforable? I am now squattig 75kg for reps, which is more than my body weight, and it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
>>36032272
Holy shit!! That's one strong mothafucker!

No, sir. On the fleshy part of the shoulders, as per instruction.

>>36032535
so your problem is basically you're an unaccustomed pussy weaklet?
>>36032586
Well I suppose I am rather weak by /fit/ standards, which would explain why padless squats aren't uncomfortable, but I think my question was pretty clear. There's a question mark at the end of it.
>>36032610
I dont think there is such a magical weight milestone where you stop hurting.
>>36032637
Please reread my posts. I'm asking at what weight it STARTED hurting for (you).
i use one, but i also squat deeper and look aesthetically better than a lot of people in the gym with me
>>36032463
>>36032610
The weight never really becomes uncomfortable. There was never a difference for me between one plate and three.
>>36032659
It never fucking hurt for me
>>36032659
Was getting caught part of your plan?
Ive had a 55 year old woman client rep 95 on squat ATG with no pad and would call people who used the pad gigantic "wimps"

Okay, thank you.
God damn it is sad how many people here defend the use of a pussy pad. I feel bad for the people who actuallty take advice from /fit/. It is fun here to make fun of genova but for actually fitness this board is cancer
>>36032665
You will feel it pressing down more, namely on your balance muscles. Taking out 140kg or 60kg, is quite a big difference for me.
>>36032707

You merely adopted the pad. I was born with it. Molded by it.
>>36032714
Ok let's say lifting as it is the main topic of this board. I don't sprint because i have a working penis but if it is your thing still don't take advice from this board.
>>36029951
>Why be unnecessarily uncomfortable?
If you aren't a pussy (i.e. have traps), then it isn't uncomfortable. If it's uncomfortable (i.e. you have no traps) then you are a pussy. Hence, pussy pad.
>>36031643
Holy shit, I thought Supermang had stopped posting!
>>36029909
I dont have noticeable traps and the bar never hurts. I don't recall it ever hurting actually. Tbqh if you need a pussy pad, you have the pain tolerance of a baby girl.
>>36032794
Not a sprintfag, but why the hate? Going fast is cool as fuck.
>>36029951
without the pad the bar hurts your shoulders for a week at the most, then your body adjusts and the pain goes away.
>>36032710
Heavier weights will inevitably increase pressure on you even though you're becoming stronger, but it doesn't necessarily mean it becomes more uncomfortable.
I remember switching from low bar to high bar and it hurt so fucking bad to have like 2pl8s on my traps. I haven't even gotten bigger traps I feel like and now it doesnt hurt at all.
>>36031556

how can gloves give you sense of security? Thy protect your palms, not making you "safer"
>>36032963

>>36032272
Why do all these taconiggers have their fucking hands so wide? It fucking pisses me off to look at.
>>36029909
I never needed it, anyone like this too?
I used to, I stopped. It can be kind of discomforting, but it's really not that bad unless you're doing a ton of weight, which if you are, you should have the strong back/traps to support it.
Still use gloves on deadlifts though. Have extra skin or some shit on my left hand that fucks my grip and gets pinched real bad if I don't.
>>36031341
Your rack position is incorrect.
Lrn2 5 points of contact, plebtard
My thoughts on gym stuff like lifting belts,knee condoms and gloves were always that I can see it being useful but at the same time I don't want to have weak muscles or tendons and if it means stalling so that my grip or lower back can catch up I'd rather do that than use some stuff that prevents me from getting stronger.
The bar tampon is different it's only to have the iron not hurt you it doesn't help you with the lift in any way as far as I'm concerned like with a high bar you want and need the bar to sit on your traps and the tampon pushes your neck to the front potentially hurting you and for low bar t's not long enough to be useful.
I never used it though so maybe it helps,, but it's not my job to coach people who do their own thing if they need help they can ask.

But what if shoulder problems mean you can't get tight under the bar to make a rigid shelf? I needs the pad so I don't crush my spine and scapula when I do my measly 2.5pl8
>>36031747
Yup
>>36032714
I can see how slow you are just by how you asked this question, pleb.
>>36039094
Speaking as a guy who has had both labrums sown back together and still squats fine, you are either lying and don't want things to hurt for a week or two as you get used to having the bar there or your shoulders are so fucked you shouldn't be squatting.
>>36030078
Bwahahahahaha
>>36039287
Also double labral tears here, no surgery yet. Did you squat before you had surgery? I can get tight for a rep or two but my shoulders are so loose they'll occasionally pop like they're sublaxing or something which hurts and makes me miss my reps. Also it just doesn't feel good for them at all, with a pad though it feels manageable.
>>36030101
