I was pretty impressed when I got the box with the bar pad. It is much heftier than my old bar pad. I'm pretty sure my old bar pad is the same as the one we had at my commercial gym. It is solid, but also cushier. Nicer on my hip bones. Also, the cover is nicer feeling can be removed and cleaned.
Look at this:
Here was my workout:
Foam rolling and Mobility
2 chin-ups
A1 Bench press - (warm-up 3 @45#, 65#, 75#, 85#) 3 @95#, 2x2 @100#
A2 1-arm DB row - 3x8 @45#
2 chin-ups
B1 DB pullover - 3x8 @30#
B2 Push-up - 3x5
C1 BB hip thrust - (warm-up 3 @45#) 8 @65#, 8 @75#, 8 @85#
C2 TGU - 4/side @20#, 4/side @20#, 3/side @20# (alternating side with each rep)
There it is! My heart rate montitor estimated 635cal in 1:19. Not bad. Those TGUs really got my heart rate up!

That is a hefty bar pad!!
It's awesome!
Melly,
Looking at your logs for the past few months, I'm thinking you may need some more goals by the summer! You're really close on the DL, Bench, and Squat. Keep up the good work you're doing great!!
Pad? What is lifting heavy without shoulder rash? ;)
Oh, but I don't use it for squats, I use it for hip thrusts! Over about 70# my hip bones start screaming that they need better padding than that wimpy bar pad.
