🚨🚨The wildly popular Spud Inc Pillow belt has just got a upgrade! Introducing the new Spud Inc Adjustable Pillow Belt squat! 🚨🚨

This version has all the same softness and durability to handle any belt squat job you can throw at it. The material folds up and contours to any body type just like the regular Pillow belt squat belt only we added a slide buckle system taken from our regular adjustable belt squat belt. That version has been a staple around the world for over 20 years along with our regular belt squat belt.

The regular Pillow Belt Squat Belt changed the comfort game for belt squat belt coupled with Spud’s Inc highest durability and quality standards.

Just when you didn’t think Spud could make it better, we added big easy adjustment rings to the slide buckle system. With the rings and slide buckle adjustment, this Pillow Belt allows for a tighter adjustment range for those in between sizes for a more individualized fit. You have less time unhooking the snap ring and adjusting as with the regular pillow. This also makes it easier if you multiple athletes you are running at one time with less adjustments hooking and unhooking the regular Pillow Belt Squat Belt.

In general. We have made a easier and more confrontable version after we set the standard with the regular Pillow Belt. You can still fold it up and use it as nappy pillow!

💥Highlights💥

-Added easy slide buckles for quicker and more individualized comfort adjustments.

-Large heavy duty rings making it easier to unhook and get out of your belt squat

-ONE Size that fits most people in the: 120 lbs - 275 lbs body weight (Pad length is 36” long with a 6.5” width)

-DOES NOT COME WITH A CARABINER!

-ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE:If you are under the 120lb or need for young adults, then the small regular pillow belt squat is a great option. Over 300lb or large waisted, please go with the XL Pillow Regular Pillow belt squat.

Shoulder pain, stiffness and tightness is an epidemic amongst athletes and everyday people. This is the result of athletes constantly performing with their shoulders flexing forward and nearly every other day-to-day activity, including driving, eating, texting and working, all contributing to that same uncomfortable and unhealthy ‘hunched’ forward position.

The solution; properly applied compression!

Created by former professional athlete Donnie Thompson and manufactured by SpudInc, the original Thompson Bowtie has helped thousands of shoulders feel better and performance better.

How?

The Bowtie was designed to provide evenly distributed compression around the shoulders (glenoids) helping to guide them back into their proper position (central socket). Worn during activity or at rest, the Bowtie helps reduce tightness in the shoulders, helps open up the chest and upper body (relieving pressure on the brachial plexus) while also reducing stress on surrounding tissues including the bicep tendon.

Immediately upon its release, the original Bowtie set a new standard for wearable compression. Now the all new Bowtie Vice goes even further.

Developed over the last three years, the Bowtie Vice features stronger material for nearly twice the compression, longer straps for easy adjustment and is even more comfortable than the original so it can be worn for several hours at a time with zero numbness, discomfort or pinching.

It has been said that,”if you have arms, you need a Bowtie”. And for those who push their arms and bodies to the extreme, they need a Bowtie Vice.

Inspired by the old-school metal wraps of the early 2000s, these hybrid wraps offer an aggressive, supportive feel with greater elasticity than traditional heavy wraps. They are designed to make wrapping less strenuous while providing the secure, cast-like feel and rebound that serious lifters appreciate during squats.

Designed to conform to your wrists while allowing the movement needed throughout your range of motion, they deliver the stiffness and security you want during training. Their comfortable, body-conforming feel helps you focus on lifting rather than fighting with your equipment.

Take your training to the absolute limit. If it takes all nine lives to survive the workout, so be it - ONE MORE SET!! by @spudincstraps

The New Age represents the shift from what was to what can be. Enter the New Age Hybrid Knee Wraps from Spud Inc., combining the feel of classic metal wraps with the elasticity, thickness, and support today’s lifters demand.

Inspired by the old-school metal wraps of the early 2000s, these hybrid wraps offer an aggressive, supportive feel with greater elasticity than traditional heavy wraps. They are designed to make wrapping less strenuous while providing the secure, cast-like feel and rebound that serious lifters appreciate during squats.

The material conforms to your knees while allowing the movement needed throughout your range of motion. Its secure grip helps keep the wrap in place as you prepare for your next heavy set, so you can focus on your technique and performance.

As veteran powerlifter Chris Evans describes his experience:

“Really able to crank hard and get that extra revolution around the knee due to the elastic material but still tough and aggressive cast like wrap when done around the knee and extreme rebound out the hole.”

He also highlights the material’s ability to grip the skin without slipping during wrapping, comparing the overall feel favorably to old-school metal wraps.

Highlights
Secure Grip: Helps prevent slipping during wrapping for a more consistent setup.

Less Strenuous Wrapping: Elastic material makes wrapping easier than working with heavier, less flexible wraps.

Aggressive Support: Provides a firm, secure feel for demanding squat sessions.

Elastic Rebound: Combines elasticity and supportive stiffness for powerful movements.

Comfortable Material: Designed to help reduce discomfort while wrapping.

Focus on Your Lifting: Spend less time struggling with your wraps and more time concentrating on performance.

Enter your new age of lifting with New Age Hybrid Knee Wraps from Spud Inc.

Order yours today!

🔥💪🫡 • @hantelraygun The Spud Inc. Bowtie is an elastic shoulder stabilization and positioning system.

The tension from the band pulls the shoulders posteriorly and stabilizes the scapulae in retraction.

For arm wrestlers, this is particularly relevant as supplementary work for scapulothoracic control:

The shoulder girdle forms the proximal base for force transmission between the torso and the arm, while the trapezius, rhomboids, and other periscapular muscles control the position and movement of the scapula.

Research on scapular stabilization training shows that targeted work on these muscles can positively influence their activation and shoulder function.

In arm wrestling, the Bowtie can therefore be used as a stabilization and activation tool for the shoulder girdle. The external tension of the band creates a constant stimulus for active control of scapular position.

This makes it useful for warm-ups, recovery between heavy loads, sparring, general training routines, and specific stabilization work. From a purely technical standpoint, wearing it during competition is not prohibited.

Empirical evidence suggests that regular use reduces symptoms of overuse or pain and sharpens the mind-muscle connection for the upper back, trapezius, and posterior shoulder muscles.

💪🫡🔥 • @briangfox Reactive Strength: Posterior Elbow & Upper Arm

A heavy damp (violent collision) and rapid change of direction. Allowing the biological architecture to absorb and dissipate that force and velocity over and over.

🚨NOW AVAILABLE HYBRID WRIST WRAPS🚨Every 2150 years or so, we enter a New Age. The New Age is the shift from what was to what can be. Enter the New Age Hybrid Wraps from Spud Inc. The hybrid wraps create a new excitement for lifting and support. They are reminiscent of the old metal wraps from the early 2000s but with more elasticity and thickness of heavier wraps of today without the strenuousness of trying to stretch out a heavier wrap. They conform to the joints but allow the needed movement throughout range of motion with the stiffness and security you want while training. You could call them the fascia of wraps feeling like they are part of your own body.

HIGHLIGHTS
-Grip the skin without the grippy material band aid pulling effect
-Less strenuous work wrapping.
-More elastic and supportive for higher rebound.
-Comfy material suited for all ages.
-Focus on your lifting, not on wrap discomfort.
