Loadable Dumbbell Cushions

Loadable dumbbells are great—until the hard metal ends dig into your thighs every time you set up for a press. You shouldn't have to choose between using the weights you own and a comfortable start to your set.

Our Loadable Dumbbell Cushions slip onto the exposed ends of Olympic-style loadable dumbbells, giving you a wider, softer contact point when resting the weights on your legs. Their snug foam design adds just 2 ounces per cushion and lets you keep using the plates and handles you already own.

Invented by longtime personal trainer David Otey after experiencing the same frustration, they're a simple fix for one of the most annoying parts of dumbbell pressing. Sold in pairs.

Customer photo review of Loadable Dumbbell Cushions

This product is “ok”, it works for lighter weights and makes home gym setups more versatile. However, it’s too soft, when lifting heavier weights the cone shape allows the edges to roll and this makes it unstable. If they had made it as a cylinder or gave it a bigger footprint overall it would be a much better product.

I love the concept but I was an idiot for not reading that it was for the Olympic size barbell. As you can see it, I made it work.

NO MORE BRUISES! Really well made, enabled me to use my loadable dumbbells for heavier presses.

LOADABLE DUMBBELL CUSHIONS

I own a rackable dumbbell holder, it’s very well built and sturdy BUT you have to position them very precisely to be able to unrack from a position of strength and have enough to clearance to do so the movement without hitting them. I find myself not using them most of the time. I much prefer the abmat cushions. I just position them on my quads and in a smooth motion layback on the bench and prop up the dumbbells. When you’re lifting heavier weight you don’t want to be thinking about not hitting the dumbbell rack.

Buy it. Thats all i have to say. If you have loadable dumbells, do not waste another minute, ORDER THIS. I bought 2 sets. Very upset at myself for not having these since day one of ordering my dumbells.

Loadable Dumbbell Cushions

So much better having cushions for both dumbells. I wish had these sooner.

Loadable Dumbbell Cushions

I feel they are still a bit small and don't stabilize on the leg 100 percent.

Loadable Dumbbell Cushions

A great and comfortable solution for your adjustable dumbbells.

Loadable Dumbbell Cushions

They work on my Gungnir loadable dumbbells as described. I am able to comfortably rest them on my thighs before raising them in position to exercise on my bench. I was glad to see the photos showing them on the Gungnirs, which let me know they would fit properly. I am totally satisfied. Thank you!

Allows the full potential of loadable dumbbell's to be unlocked.

You know… for the price I assumed these would be hard rubber which would actually be a good product. They are soft foam 🙁😞😫. There is absolutely no way they will last with real weight (50+lbs.) the irony is that you don’t really need them for light weight. I was planning on using them for benching 80-120 pound dumbbells. I honestly feel ripped off as they probably are less than a dollar to make. If you are reading this Abmat you guys are really pushing the price envelope hard and it is a real disappointment. I will not be buying any more of your products. You need to do better to retain a real gym enthusiast.

I was on the fence about selling my Rogue loadable dumbbell handles because of how they dig into your legs trying to set up. I figured I'd have to just cut my losses and get some spendy adjustable dumbbells... but wait; "I wonder if Abmat figured this out?" I thought. Sure enough I went to the website and they of course already figured this out. These pads feel great and solved the only problem I had, saving me hundreds of dollars.

Loadable Dumbbell Cushions

It is well made, and I like it, I did not consider the room the plates take on the dumbbell. I am using the dumbbell plates on the Rogue DB15’s. If you have a 10lb and 25lb, or a 45lb plate, with the collar, the product will not fit on there. Something to consider. If you are using larger sleeves, or lighter weight, they work great!

LOADABLE DUMBBELL CUSHIONS

I like the loadable dumbbell cushions. However, I like to load up my dumbbells with 10lb plates. If you put 5 tens on one side plus the collar you don’t get a flush fit with the loadable dumbbell cushion. That being said, I’ve seen nothing better than these for saving your thighs when hiking loadable dumbbells into position for presses.

LOADABLE DUMBBELL CUSHIONS

I want this product, but… I’d be using them on the rogue full size db bumpers. They take all of the sleeve when loaded. Can you mold these to fit over the collars when on the end of the sleeve? Thanks

LOADABLE DUMBBELL CUSHIONS

It's about time someone made something like this. What a brilliant idea and well made product.

LOADABLE DUMBBELL CUSHIONS

These dumbbell cushions were exactly what I needed to be able to increase the weight I was using without destroying my legs. I now can focus on the exercise I’m performing without thinking about my bruised thighs. Thanks Abmat!
