It was primarily designed for hip thrusts to strengthen your back leg muscles

  • The R8 Hip Thrust Pad is a surprisingly versatile accessory that will add a variety of options to your power rack
  • It is a rack-mounted bench on which you can sit, stand, lean or lie to perform various exercises with dumbbells, kettlebells or your body weight
  • The pad can support up to 550 kg, weighs 15 kg itself and is made of alloyed steel
  • The durable and ergonomically shaped padding guarantees safety and comfort during exercises at all times
  • Designed with a locking pin system for quick and secure locking
  • Additional handles make it more comfortable to handle, so you can easily attach it to any desired position on your power rack
  • After training, the bench can be easily dismantled and stored
  • The compact design is suitable for home gyms as well as for personal trainers and professional athletes

Functional exercise variety

  • You can use the pad like a plyo box to perform box jumps, step-ups, box squats, pistol squats, as well as incline and decline box push-ups, tricep dips, preacher curls, decline mountain climbers, elevated lunges or side planks
  • It also offers the possibility for even more efficient dumbbell pullovers, because your thoracic spine is supported by the pad, your chest is expanded and the training stimulus is maximized
  • You can do glute bridges and single leg glute ham raises just as well as one of the most efficient leg exercises: Bulgarian split squats
  • It serves as a seat for calf exercises on your R8 Smith Multistation or lat pulldown variations on the R8 Alpha or R8 Bradley
  • On the R8 Alpha, the pad can even be used as a bench for unilateral leg stretching
  • Core stabilization exercises, such as abdominal muscle training while sitting with raised legs, are also possible
  • Since the pad can be mounted at the full height of the power rack, it is even suitable for "stone-loading exercises" in which you lift a wall ball or power bag from the floor onto the raised pad

hip thrusts

  • However, the pad was specially developed for hip thrusts
  • This is a very effective exercise for training the hamstrings, but also the gluteal and quadriceps muscles and the lower back
  • In this movement, the weight is placed across the pelvis, the athlete lies on the floor with bent legs, the shoulders on the raised pad
  • A vertical hip thrust moves the weight upwards until there is almost a straight line between the knees and the shoulder blades, with the pad providing the lever
  • Hip thrusts place far less strain on the spine than traditional barbell squats, making them an excellent option for rehabilitation
  • This exercise ensures a balanced relationship between abdominal and gluteal muscles, as well as leg extensors and leg flexors
  • This can prevent injuries or reduce lower back pain
  • Another benefit of the hip thrust is to improve explosiveness, so you can increase your speed or jumping power and optimize your performance in squats or deadlifts
