Hello Queen! Thank you for your question, and it absolutely makes sense. When performing barbell squats, it is important that the bar rests securely across the upper trapezius muscles (the top of the shoulders) rather than directly on the neck. Maintaining an upright chest and engaging your core will also help with stability and minimize discomfort in that area. Using a barbell pad is absolutely acceptable it is not limited to hip thrusts. Many individuals prefer to use a pad or even a folded towel to provide cushioning and reduce pressure during squats. Alternatively, if you find the barbell uncomfortable, you may substitute with dumbbells held at the shoulders or by the sides, which can still provide an effective workout. Above all, it is important to listen to your body and adjust as needed to ensure both safety and comfort. Should you wish for more personalized guidance, please feel free to reach out to us at info@queenwarriors.com , and we will be glad to assist you further.

Hello Queen! Thank you for reaching out with your question. While a vibration pad and a stepper are designed for different purposes, you may certainly explore whether your vibration pad can be used as an alternative for step-up movements. If you choose to do so, we would suggest keeping it powered off to ensure greater stability and reduce the risk of imbalance. The key is to prioritize safety, making sure the surface is stable, non-slip, and allows you to perform the movements with proper form. That being said, every individual’s setup and equipment may differ, so we cannot guarantee identical results compared to a traditional stepper. If you find that the pad does not feel secure or supportive, it may be worth considering either a dedicated stepper or substituting with alternative exercises that mimic similar movements. For more personalized guidance, we encourage you to reach out to us directly at info@queenwarriors.com, and our team will be glad to assist you further.
