elitefts™ Red Shoulder Saver™ Pad

The smaller brother to the original elitefts™ Shoulder Saver™ Pad, the elitefts™ Red Shoulder Saver™ Pad is designed to protect your shoulders while still allowing you to bench.

The Shoulder Saver™ is arguably the best bench builder on the market and understandably so:

• The Shoulder Saver™ has a much smaller weight displacement compared to boards. This requires the lifter to stay tighter in the hole, instead of relying on the comfortable, large weight displacement of the boards. For a raw bencher, this is crucial, as 95% of bench press weakness is in the hole or a few inches above.  

•  The bottom of the Shoulder Saver™ is rounded - adding the potential for rolling if you're not gripping the bar with effort.  This feature was intended to keep the lifter staying tighter and more focused on proper grip and wrist alignment.  

• On top of these challenging aspects, the elitefts™ Shoulder Saver™ does what its name implies - saves your shoulders! The Shoulder Saver™ is perfect for injured lifters as well as those rehabbing pecs, shoulders, or even elbows. Limiting the Range Of Motion with the Shoulder Saver™ is a perfect way to ease back into heavy pressing as well as keeping overreaching athletes healthy.  

• As we all know, the board press is the single greatest accessory movement for developing a strong bench. However, not everyone has a partner that can hold the boards for them - leading to the ridiculous and dangerous method of sticking boards under your shirt.  The Shoulder Saver™ eliminates this need for a partner and allows you to bench in confidence.  

 The elitefts™ Red Shoulder Saver™ Pad is slightly smaller in diameter than the original, equating to a 1.5-inch board.
