Pivot Pad

I don’t use this like it was intended but it’s very nice to use on a barbell if you have an Andreoni bar for standing tricep or pulldowns. Like everything I’ve bought from AbMat it’s very high quality

It serves a purpose and doesn't break the bank but I wouldn't recommend it. It takes a while to setup and it always seems to squeak while in use. It was also created by Kaizen DIY and he is a bit of a pedo sooooo.....

Its too slippery especially shirtless. Also I find it takes too much time to setup. Basically it sitting on my shelf eating dust now.

The pivot pad has changed the game for home gym hip thrusts. Even at commercial gyms it was a pain unless they had a dedicated machine. It’s the worst to try to get going on hip thrusts and the bench scoots out, wobbles, and of course digs into your back. This allows for a much better experience since it pivots with you throughout the movement. It is a bit expensive for $135 but I got it on sale and layered on another 10% off with their first time buyer discount so it was like $90 which seemed like a decent deal. I did initially worry about how long it would take to set up but it’s not bad! One drawback is you do need two barbells, but it’s nice to have a nice bar and a beater bar so it’s a good excuse to get another bar.

Works great. I used the edge of my bench before and it always slid around. Using this on a rack is rock solid and the pivot makes hip Thrusts feel much nicer. Pairing this with the HTP pad is great.

Decent modality, but takes set-up time a two bars. It does make for reasonable movement. I think if this is what you have it’s fine.

The AbMat Pivot Pad is okay and pretty good quality but it takes two barbells to setup for hip thrusts so it is time consuming to setup. Works well as a back pad for my short utility bench.

This is a significant upgrade from trying to wiggle up on a bench to do hip thrusts. It attaches to the bar easily and is easily removed. My only complaint is that is does slide on the bar. I was hoping it would not slide around on my back.

Great quality as always with Abmat. If you don’t have a dedicated glute drive machine this is a great option. Easy to use but imo not very comfortable and because my wife and I do a lot of glute work in our programs we opted to buy a Matrix Magnum Glute Drive.

Perfect quality, like everything from AbMat. These are excellent for hip thrusts, certainly better than using a bench. It’s comfortable, convenient and easy to adjust. It’s also a great pad for anything else you need, like box squats.
