    You can put a Hampton bar pad around the squat sponge for extra padding if the squat sponge by itself isn't enough.

    I workout in my basement, and I actually created my own plywood bumper plates to use. (Originally meant for my deadlifts, but now use them for both deads and hip thrutst.

    They are double thick 1/2" sheets, cut into circles using a jigsaw, then glued and screwed together. I used a thick duct tape around the edges to handle slivers and painted them black. Best thing is that they weigh a whopping 5lb each (exactly), so they don't add a lot of weight, but do make it easy to roll the bar over my thighs.

    Can you post some pictures?

    I totally did hip thrusts last night. I was doing 85x15,so I bumped to 95x15 for set one. It was still easy.. So I bumped to 125....and still did 15 for the next two!

    Next time, I'll see if 135 makes me stop sooner. Haha

    (lbs)

    I do have bruises on my hips, but hey... They'll heal! Haha
