Pussy Pads

Are they really for pussies? I don't see the problem with people using them.

no - be your own person. that being said, I wouldn't use it with anything less than 185 on the bar

It feels like making things "softer" is diminishing the experience, you know?
Like somethings aren't meant to be comfy

Not all people who use the pad are pussies, but all pussies use the pad.

This sums it up perfect right here

It encourages improper form.

Throws off balance and makee it hard to tell where the bar should rest (should be sitting on muscles and not yoyr neck). If you just lift without it for a few sessions you won't even think about it anymore really. And you'll be slightly less of a pussy.

This, it fucks up the location on your back, whether you're doing low bar or high bar squats

This. It's horrible if you've been lifting for more than a couple months and only gets worse as you progress.
It's fine on certain lifts like hip thrusts, but not squats where most people use it.

I think you cant feel the bar properly with those. If if it works for you then go for it

i use them for good mornings because otherwise my neck hurts like shit due to that bone near traps

Exactly, only acceptable on the hip thrust since it's a legit uncomfortable bar position.

Nasty ass things with years of neck sweat on them.

If the bar ain't bending you're just pretending

No, all people who use the pussy pad are pussies.

This. The center of mass is all off. If you use this you are DYEL. Never saw anyone using it with a decent squat.

>tfw watching a guy at your gym benching lmao4.5pl8 with a pussy pad

Not really sure what it does but who am I to argue with a 455 bench.

>455lbs = 4.5 plate

For squats? Yes there's a problem because it suggests your bar position is incorrect.
>Not all people who use the pad are pussies
Incorrect.

I use them for hip thrusts

fag

Not him but
4pl8 = 405 lbs = 4x2x45 lbs plates + bar
0.5pl8 = 95 lbs = 0.5x2x45 lbs plates + bar = 2x25 lbs plates + bar
What's the problem here ?

No thanks, I have traps

4pl8 is Eight forty five pound plates and a forty five pound bar
(45)(8)+45=405

yes, they really are.

but you don't count the weight of the bar

and 405 + 50 (aka 405 + two 25lb half pl8s) equals what user

who cares squatting is retarded kys

>leglet

I can think of few legitimate reasons to use it.

Most people who do are worried about safety in the wrong way.
ie. worrying about neck(?) damage when they have backbreaking bad form.

Yeah but you're not supposed to count the bar in the total weight.

What's wrong with being a pussy? pussy wielders are generally cuter and prettier
