The Pivot Pad turns any squat rack into a variable-height hip thrust machine. Simply rack your barbell and snap the Pivot Pad on to the bar. The pad performs like a commercial grade hip thrusting machine at a fraction of the price and footprint. The pad has a soft foam exterior and rigid core.

Performing hip thrusts on a traditional bench can be uncomfortable, difficult to get set up, and uses a fixed height that doesnt lend itself to proper biomechanics. The Pivot Pad puts the user in a proper position based on their height and makes getting into the movement a breeze. Simply sit on the ground with your upper back against the pad and begin thrusting.

Though the Pivot Pad was designed to accommodate all types of hip thrusts including barbell, dumbbell, and banded hip thrusts, it is not limited to this single movement. The pad works great for other accessory work including single arm presses, glute marches, Copenhagen planks, and rear-elevated push-ups to name a few.

The patent-pending keyhole design of the Pivot Pad snap directly onto a olympic barbell and rotates with the user creating an immersive experience almost as if the pad isnt there. Use the Pivot Pad in conjunction with ourHip Thrust Padfor the most comfortable and convenient hip thrust solution.

The Pivot Pad is a collaboration between Dr. Kelly Starrett of the Ready State and AbMat. Kelly approached the AbMat team and wanted a solution for performing Split Squats using a barbell (Split Squat Pad). A byproduct ofthose talks led to the creation of the Pivot Pad. A special thanks to Kyle Divine (@kaizendiygym) for his design input.

ABMAT – Pivot Pad

With the Pivot Pad, you can transform any squat rack into a variable-height hip thrust machine. Simply attach the pad onto your barbell, and it will function like a high-quality hip thrusting machine. This pad is not only more affordable than commercial-grade machines, but also takes up less space. The Pivot Pad features a soft foam exterior and a rigid core, ensuring comfort and stability during use.

Traditional benches can be uncomfortable and difficult to set up for performing hip thrusts, with fixed heights that can compromise biomechanics. The Pivot Pad addresses these issues by adjusting to the user’s height and simplifying setup. To use, sit on the ground with the pad against your upper back and start thrusting.

Although it was primarily designed for hip thrusts using barbells, dumbbells, and bands, the Pivot Pad can also facilitate other accessory exercises, such as single-arm presses, glute marches, Copenhagen planks, and rear-elevated push-ups.

The patent-pending keyhole design of the Pivot Pad allows it to snap directly onto an Olympic barbell and rotate with the user, creating a seamless experience. For the most comfortable and convenient hip thrust solution, combine the Pivot Pad with our Hip Thrust Pad.

Dr. Kelly Starrett of the Ready State collaborated with AbMat to create the Pivot Pad. Originally intended for Split Squats using a barbell (Split Squat Pad), discussions between the parties led to the creation of the Pivot Pad. The team would like to thank Kyle Divine (@kaizendiygym) for contributing to the design.
