Description:
The padding hidden inside the palm is typically High-Density EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) Foam.
Function: It is a "closed-cell" foam that doesn't flatten easily under heavy weight.
Purpose: It acts as a shock absorber between the hard barbell and the delicate nerves in your palm, preventing pain and "nerve pinch" while maintaining enough "bar feel" so you stay in control of the lift.
