Yes, the gains is channeled from the steel of the barbell through your skin, a pussy pad will block the flows.

Of course it fucking won't but your self-respect gains will evaporate.
Squatting with just a bar shouldn't hurt unless you have a condition.

What people don't realize is that the squat is a lot more than your legs at work.
Proper squat form rests in the positioning of the bar on your back and an equally balanced weight on either side of your body.
Pussy pads put a giant block of foam in between your back and typically unbalance the weight you're lifting.
Do not use them.

Wtf is a pussy pad?
James Thomas
You've probably seen chicks use this at the gym.
Just don't use it.
Tyler Sanders
It resets on ur traps, not bones. Move it down, and your shoulders back
Ian Bell
it unironically throws off your balance and makes squatting harder.
Maybe use it first off if you have literally no traps due to living like an ultra nerd you entire life (like I did) but honestly its better to just never touch it.

Using a pussy pad teaches you to squat with improper setup, which is going to be detrimental for you in the long run. Only reason someone uses it is because "it hurts my neck/spine", which means you're placing the bar right in the first place.

Never used one, but what actually is the problem with it?

If I do high bar I feel like my traps are getting fucked but if I do low bar I can squat anything without it hurting. Try that before handing in your man card
Xavier Martinez
Its fine and usefull for hip thrusts though. Couldnt go for 100+ without
Jacob Robinson
Yes. It will fuck with your form if you actually squat enough weight that you'd think you might need one.

It's highly recomended to use this pads on 20 rep squat programs. A lot of people have head pain on last reps when not using it.
