This is why bitch pads/gloves/respirators shouldn't be used by default at the gym.. In fact gym managers should put them away and only hand them out upon request. Sure the traps get a bit butthurt the first time the knurling kisses them, but after a a few more tries the pain goes away. I'm sure the delts (or clavicles if you slip lol) aren't too pleased after doing front squats the first time either. So put a bitch pad all the way around the neck before front squats/cleans then? lmao..
Next, we'll have people showing up at the gym with bitch pads all around their neck, bike gloves on their hands, and respirators on just to do DB curls at the rack. Not happened yet at my gym but judging by the state of things it's only a matter of time folks!
