Performance Benefits
Strongman Specificity: The 48-inch length is specifically designed to safely catch the wide footprint of a Strongman log, preventing the ends from hanging off and causing uneven bounces.
Maximum Vibration Dampening: Engineered to handle the massive kinetic energy of heavy log presses or stone loads, drastically reducing structural vibration in the facility.
Equipment Preservation: Protects expensive specialty bars—like logs and axles—from direct impact with concrete or thin rubber, preventing dents, scratches, and weld fatigue.
Acoustic Reduction: Effectively "muffles" the thunderous sound of heavy drops, which is essential for home gyms in residential neighborhoods or commercial gyms with noise ordinances.
Stability: The increased weight (38 LBS per pad) and larger footprint ensure the cushions stay firmly in place during high-impact training sessions.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe down the vinyl covers with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The ripstop vinyl is sweat-resistant and easy to sanitize.
Moisture Management: While the vinyl is durable, ensure the pads are kept in a dry environment to prevent any moisture from seeping into the foam core through the seams.
Storage: Due to their size, these can be stood up on their side against a wall when not in use to save floor space.
Impact Rotation: Periodically flip or rotate the pads to ensure even wear across the foam surface over years of use.
Warranty Information
Warranty: Includes a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How are these different from the standard Crash Cushions? A: These are much larger. While standard cushions are 30”x24”, the Log version is 48”x30”. This extra length is critical for the wide barrels of training logs.
Q: Can these be used for Atlas Stone training? A: Yes, they are excellent for stone loading or drops. The 6-inch thickness and dense foam provide a safe landing for stones, though users should always ensure the stone lands centered on the pad.
Q: Do these pads have a "rebound" effect? A: No. Like the standard version, these use a high-density rebond foam designed to "eat" the energy of the drop, meaning the log or bar will stay where it lands rather than bouncing dangerously.
Q: Can I stack these for height? A: While they can be stacked for storage, it is not recommended to stack them for active lifting drops as the top pad could shift upon impact.
