Abstract
Pad that mounts on the bar of a barbell and spreads forces exerted by the bar over a larger area of the shoulders, neck, and/or chest of a person upon which the bar is resting. The pad has an elongated body of resilient, highly compressible injection molded EVA foam having an annular cross section, an inner surface that grips the bar and holds the pad in place on the bar, and an outer surface with an ogee curvature that conforms to the contour of the shoulders, neck, and/or chest of the person using the barbell.

A pad that mounts on the bar of a barbell and spreads forces exerted by the bar over a larger area of the shoulders, neck, and/or chest of a person using the barbell, comprising:
- an elongated body of resilient, highly compressible injection molded EVA foam having an annular cross section, an inner surface that grips the bar and holds the pad in place on the bar, and an outer surface with an ogee curvature that conforms to the contour of the shoulders, neck, and/or chest of the person using the barbell.
A pad that mounts on the bar of a barbell for spreading forces exerted by the bar over a larger area of the shoulders, neck, and/or chest of a person using the barbell, comprising:
- an elongated body of resilient, highly compressible injection molded EVA foam having an axially extending opening in which the bar is received and an outer contour that conforms to the shoulders, neck, and/or chest of the person.
A pad that mounts on the bar of a barbell and spreads forces exerted by the bar over a larger area of the shoulders, neck, and/or chest of a person exercising with the barbell, comprising:
- an elongated body of resilient, highly compressible foam and annular cross section having concavely curved sections extending from opposite ends of a central section and increasing in diameter toward the ends of the body, convexly curved sections extending from the concavely curved sections and further increasing in diameter toward the ends of the body, with the concavely curved sections and the convexly curved sections forming ogee curves that conform to the contour of the shoulders, neck, and/or chest of the person exercising with the barbell, and inwardly curved end sections that decrease in diameter between the ogee curves and the ends of the body.
