Can the pad be cut in two so I can use it on shorter bars? My use is for the knee support bar on my incline crunch bench

Sure it could be cut with a utility knife, but the stitching will un-ravel. I suppose you could duct tape the rough ends and hope for the best. It will be unsightly.Why not just go to the orange construction store and buy black foam pipe insulation for 1" copper pipe? You can cut it to any length and it will not have the issue with the seams.

Yes I can. Just be aware the Velcro is not that strong and I frequently have to support it in order for it to stay together.

I imagine you could but if the bar isn't wide enough you can tape it with duct tape if the Velcro doesn't hold it in place.

No - I bought the 72" version and I don't see how you would be able to shorten it. Each end has some hardware in it and it would be very difficult / impossible to cleanly remove it then cut the whole thing to be 66".

Not without modifications. Looks like the shortest it will adjust to would be about 45". You could use a saw to cut the ends but you would lose some of the benefit of the arch. If cut down to 33" I would estimate that it would only arch out about 4" in the middle compared to a straight bar.

I would think you could put a longer rubber tee where the rubber cut-off tee they provided goes, I have not done that but it seems like it should work fine. The the they provided allows a regular tee to be put in the center of the short rubber tee provided.

This should be only used with Olympic type bar. This will not work with small diameter bar. I also like it because it is cheaper then American steel, rubber is of good quality and I have not have had a problem with any equipment bought from Body-Solid. Do not mix with steel olympic weigthts these are used to keep from marking wood floorsl,.

yes ,you can cut the length that you need. after just having a right knee reconstruction in november 2013 this works much better than an ace wrap, it stays where you put it. it does come in different sizes so you do need to get the size you need.

Yes, you can cut to any length you need, I use several different lengths to secure my folding bike

The diameter of my barbell is 3 1/2 inches it just fits around my barbell. If the diameter was even a millimeter bigger then the pad would not fit it.

Yes the bench lays flat for your normal bench press and a 60" bar may be too short. Use the standard olympic bar. 7 foot bar

It is. I don't see why you can't cut it shorter just try not to mess up the threads so you can still use it.

I don't see why not. The bar is a pre-measured length (18", 24" etc.). It just slips into the end caps. With a good hack-saw, there is no reason to think that you would not be able to trim the bar to a smaller length.

That would be no problem. Since they slide into one another, I do not think that you would need to cut them. My install was only slightly larger.

why not? 7/8" bars and 7/8" bars... might have to purchase the bar end extension so you dont have to cut your grip

yes you can.the package include separate support feet for the other shorter one.

Yes, it fits very well on both the normal thinner 45 lb bar as well as the thicker bar as well. I like this pad very much and find it confortable. I have been using it for several months and it is holding up like new.

I'm with Somanycats. Given that the pad is quilted, it probably would be compromised by cutting it down. You'd have to rebind it, which would be a bit tricky since I believe that there is a layer of water-proof material in the center.

You could but in my opinion, it would look funny. As another reviewer said, just keep them separate or even better, just buy an L shaped bar. There are a ton on Craigslist and Ebay.
