Thruster Pad Bar

SKU: Thruster Pad Bar
$149.00

The BC Strength Thruster Pad Bar specialized bar features an integrated back pad, designed specifically for optimal hip thrust performance. By allowing your back to rest comfortably on the pad and hinging your torso around the bar, this unique design minimizes lower back involvement and maximizes glute engagement.

This setup not only provides a complementary hip thrusting experience but also enables you to handle heavier loads compared to traditional methods, promoting progressive overload and strength gains. At Glute Lab, we refer to these as “rotisserie hip thrusts.”

For a more detailed explanation of the technique specific to this product please see the video below.

Please note that the BC Strength Thruster Pad Bar requires a squat rack, and an additional barbell with weights.

  • Bar dimensions: 50 inches (L) 50mm bar with 3mm heavy wall steel tubing
  • Back pad dimensions: 27 inches (L) 12 inches (tall) 3.25 inches (thick)
  • Adjustable collets to allow the bar to fit most commercially available squat racks with J-Cups (adjusting the collets requires a Allen wrench, which is included)
  • Weight: 28 lbs.
  • Black textured powder coated finish with clear zinc adjustable collets

I love this!

I got this to have more range of motion. It works great! I found a product on Etsy that is made for monster lite J cups that helps keep the barbell from rocking . I highly recommend it

I got this for my home rack! It fits great and is so much better then doing hip thrust off the bench!

Love It!!!

I was going to just buy a pad for one of my barbells from a popular pad maker, but then I found this for about the same price, which is way better because it doesn't tie up a barbell and is way lighter than a barbell so anyone can easily set it up. Over been using it a couple weeks and I'm in love with it. I thought about buying one of the thruster rigs from BC Strength but settled on this because it takes up less space in my small gym. I would definitely recommend this bar!

Game Changer!

I've been doing hip thrust for years and have tried all the "hacks" and truly, this is the way to go! This bar makes hip thrusts so smooth and allows me to lift heavier than I ever dreamed! Get the bar, you won't regret it!
