Troubleshooting

Pad slides during exercise

Ensure the pad is centered on the barbell and that the barbell is dry. For a tighter fit, ensure the velcro closure (if applicable) is securely fastened. If the issue persists, the barbell's diameter might be outside the optimal range for this pad.

Discomfort persists despite using the pad

Verify the pad is positioned correctly on your neck and shoulders, not too far forward or back. Ensure you are using the correct barbell size for the pad. Double-check that the pad's density is sufficient for your weight; consider lighter weights if you are lifting exceptionally heavy loads.

Pad has an odor

Wipe the pad with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it in damp environments.
