When it comes to building strength and perfecting your technique, the right equipment is essential. DC Blocks® have earned their place in gyms and training facilities around the world, providing a safe, functional platform for weightlifters and athletes of all levels. Whether you’re training for Olympic lifts or incorporating them into your general fitness routine, these jerk blocks provide the stability you need during any exercise.
DC Blocks® Stand Out from the Competition
DC Blocks® aren’t just any training blocks; they’re designed and endorsed by some of the world’s top strength and conditioning coaches, as well as athletes. Created by two-time Olympian Derrick Crass, DC Blocks® have a legacy that dates back to the 1980s, and they’ve evolved to meet the needs of modern athletes. From elite-level lifters to everyday gym-goers, DC Blocks® offer unmatched versatility and functionality.
The Best Jerk Blocks for Impact
Unlike wooden or rubber blocks, DC Blocks® offer a safer lifting experience. Wooden blocks can be slippery and lack flexibility in height adjustment, while rubber blocks tend to bounce when weights are dropped on them – a potential hazard in the gym. DC Blocks®, on the other hand, are constructed from 100% recycled plastics with an interlocking design that keeps them stable on rubber or carpeted floors. They’re also built to withstand heavy impact without cracking, bouncing, or breaking, and the ridged edging stops weights from rolling off during use, which ensures both safety and durability.
Designed for the Serious Athlete
DC Blocks® are perfect for a wide variety of training exercises – from clean and jerks to plyometrics, box squats, step-ups and more. What makes them especially unique is their stackable, modular design. Each block offers a 5cm height increment, giving athletes and coaches the flexibility to fine-tune the block height for the specific workout. Whether you’re adjusting for a slight modification in a movement or preparing for elite-level competition, DC Blocks® allow you to customise your setup effortlessly.
Lightweight and Easy to Store
Compared to bulky wooden blocks, DC Blocks® are lightweight and much easier to transport. The DC Blocks® Ultimate weightlifting blocks even come with handles for easy portability. When not in use, they can be stacked and stored efficiently, taking up minimal space in your training area. This makes them a convenient choice for home gyms, training facilities, or larger commercial spaces.
Built to Last
One of the standout features of DC Blocks® is their environmentally conscious design. Made from materials that were previously deemed “unrecyclable”, DC Blocks® are as environmentally friendly as they are tough. UV-resistant and virtually indestructible, they can be used indoors or outdoors without fear of fading or wearing down over time. They’re tough enough to handle dropped iron and stones, offering long-lasting protection for your floors and equipment. These jerk blocks are made to last and come with a lifetime warranty, making DC Blocks® a sustainable investment you won’t need to replace.
The Perfect Jerk Platform
DC Blocks® are designed to give weightlifters the perfect platform for clean and jerk exercises. The stiff construction and crenellated tops enhance stability and ensure the blocks can handle heavy weights with ease. This gives lifters the confidence to focus on perfecting their technique without worrying about their equipment shifting or breaking under pressure.
Noise Reduction and Vibration Absorption
If noise reduction is a concern in your gym, DC Blocks® offers a solution. Not only do they protect your floors from damage, but they also help reduce noise and absorb vibrations when weights are dropped. For an even quieter experience, you can add the DC Blocks® Crash Cushion – a comfortable, noise-reducing pad that fits securely on top of DC Blocks® and stays in place thanks to its designed cut-out bottom.
