Do you use a squat sponge, /fit/?

Fuck no

it's called puss pad

>>39490055
If you use this, then you love cocks in your mouth and your ass

>>39490072
I don't use it, but I still love cocks in my mouth and ass.

>>39490055
yeah but sometimes i have a hard time shoving it up my bum hole

Are you a delicious trap?

>I prefer bouncing hundreds of pounds of metal directly on my spine

you guys are cool

>>39490102
this doesn't increase surface area whatsoever, all it will do is make it so a soft sponge is touching your back rather than a metal pole

>>39490102
>what are traps

>>39490108
which absorbs impact and helps disperse the weight

That's because you're using it wrong. You're supposed to wrap it around your dick.

How am I supposed to get tight and pull the bar into my back with a huge soft piece of bullshit in the way?

>>39490055
Realtalk, i used one up until recently because i always had problems with my shoulder and neck joints.
But i since realised that i can get way better form without it.
When i used it, all the weight was pressured on my back.
Now i can properly use my arms to stabilize the bar.
Might only be a Placebo, but it works for me and that is all that matters at the moment.

Squat pads are like tampons, all pussys need one.

2pl8, lightweight pussy.

his max was over 700

>>39490055

Only when I spill my squats

>>39490055

Is that a special kind of pad? I'm currently doing 70 kg and use the pad my gym provides (it doesnt look that thick) while wearing a hoodie. Still the bar is a little uncomfortable with that weight.

>>39490467
>his max was over 700
Not in that pic using a pussy pad he was m8

>>39490055
Yes. For barbell glute raises/bridges. Shit keeps the front of my hip bones from getting bruised, which is the worst type of bruise you can imagine, as your belt/jeans rub into it all day.

How much does it weigh? If I can include it I will use one

>>39490458

Hey, that's how much I can deadlift...and squat...combined...plus 20kg. Fuck. That's beastly as hell. He's doing my entire "A" day 1RM volume in one lift. Jesus.

>>39490076
n-no homo right

>>39490055
That's almost as gay as using squat shoes, almost

No, I just let my traps absorb the load ;^)

>>39490567

That doesn't answer my question. 70 kg is almost as much as I weigh myself so it's quite heavy for me at least.

>>39490633
almost as gay as working out

>>39490646

The answer is yes: you are a fucking pussy.

Honestly, 70kgs is nothing. You are supposed to be able to squat that much untrained. Position the bar correctly instead of using the pussy pad.

>>39490679
Anon. Lifting shoes are the exact same kind of crutch as pussypads. You shouldn't need them if you have good form and proper genetics

>>39490687
You definitely aren't supposed to squat 70 kg untrained. If you can do it you aren't untrained. However getting an untrained person to 70 kg squat should be under 2 months.

>>39490688
bad b8 m8

>>39490055
Feels weird using one desu

pushes your head forward and promotes bad posture despite the ease on the shoulders

>>39490705
Explain how they aren't the exact same thing. One is extra padding for your neck, the other is extra padding for your heel. Both compensate for poor form and don't help you lift any more with or without. Prove me wrong.

I want one. It feels like I'm placing the bar right on the spine. I don't have much muscle mass in my traps and upper back to rest the bar on.

>>39490687
>You are supposed to be able to squat that much untrained.
This. On your first day. Make sure you're wearing sandals.

Anon, those are two completely different bodyparts

>>39490729
You must be a pretty strong powerlifter with that strong opinion there bud. How much do you squat, 5, 6pl8?

>>39490646
A body weight squat is fuck all. I'm. Recovering from tendinitis and a back strain and I still squat over my body weight every time I'm in the gym.

I'll wager you aren't hitting depth with your squat either. I've never seen anyone using a pussy pad and getting anywhere near parallel

>>39490755
Both keep you from feeling uncomfortable and don't increase lifting capacity in the slightest. Get better form and it's not an issue.

>>39490785
It's a fact, not an opinion

>>39490753

Neither help you with your gains, only your feels

So much of a fact that everyone who lifts seriously uses them. They all must have shit form and genetics

If youre really bothered about the weight leaning on your back (which it shouldnt if you have a balanced body), youre still better off just wrapping your towel around it. The pussypads are too big and will fuck up bar placement, hurting your form

Do they immediately increase lifting gains or compensate for poor form. Simple question

>>39490055
i just wrap a towel around the bar.

>>39490904
Yes to both. People who have bad ankle mobility start to lift with proper form which in turn increases the amount they can lift.

>>39490894
What the fuck is that bench chart. After few months of training my set weights for every other exercise on that chart are either novice or extremely close to it. Yet bench would still be untrained.

>>39490917
That's gains over time with the help of the shoes. The only comparison I'm drawing is the pussy pad is the exact same thing

>>39490055
For barbell hip thrusts, yes. Even if I was a woman I wouldn't use it for squats

It's not over time, it's immediate.

I see new people weekly with bad ankle mobility that can't hit proper depth and they all do the same thing -- they lower the chest instead once they hit their mobility limit which pushes the bar forward out of position and they start doing good morning instead.

When they put plates under heels they can now hit proper depth with bar staying in the correct position which allows them to add more weight.

Are you telling me you can good morning more than you can squat?

>>39490646

I weight 72, and can do 10 clean reps with 120 kg. U new here?

>>39490969
you forgot to add that you never squatted before

>>39490894
According to this, I'd be advanced if I reached 2pl8 bench. I'm already 1.5 less than half a year in. Looks kinda iffy.

>>39490959
>he can't good morning the same as he can squat

>>39490458

How much is that? 250kg?

>>39491018
260. red = 25, blue = 20

>>39490102
If you have zero traps, you shouldn't squats hundreds of pounds but fix your fucking shit. Bar on spine is a 100% indicator for terrible form.

>>39490447
Yup, except that he was in there squatting for fucking HOURS. Of course the bar would shred his traps from the abuse. You dont need one for doing your 3x5 though.

>>39490447
i mean come on its only 2 plates

i can do that and im lifting for 2 months

pain from squatting without pussy pad goes away after like 2 weeks

>>39490697
fuck no
it depends on your stats but i was able to do 70kg with shit form after like 3 SS workouts

>>39491323
That's not untrained. It may be that you haven't lifted before but due to either sports, physical labour or some other reason you've gotten some strength. Someone who is truly untrained won't squat 70 kg when they're starting out.
