Shoulder Saver Pad: Where to purchase ?

JR32 · Mar 15, 2014

Hopefully this is not O/T.

I tried to purchase one from eliteFTS but after communicating with
them they have said they no longer carry it although it's still on the site.

Does anyone know of a similar item and where to buy from ? any help would be much appreciated

Why not use a board? Isn't the idea to have the shoulder saver limit the ROM you lower the bar? So, make yourself some boards for benching, hold them in place with a bungee cord. That's how powerlifters have been doing it for, well, a long time.

Do what I did. Take a foam roller, get a nice long serrated knife and cut out a slot for it to slip over the bar. Works perfectly

Dude, I train alone. I can name a lot of powerlifters who do board presses alone.

Just sayin' it works, and has for years, which is probably why EliteFTS stopped selling them - b/c they couldn't sell them.
