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 and 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® stands out from the competition
DC Blocks® are not just any training blocks; They are designed and trusted by some of the world’s best strength and conditioning coaches, as well as athletes. Created by two-time Olympian Derrick Crass, DC Blocks® have a heritage dating back to the 1980s and have evolved to meet the needs of modern athletes. From elite level weightlifters to everyday gym goers, DC Blocks® offer unmatched versatility and functionality.
The Best Jerk Blocks for Impact
Unlike wooden or rubber blocks, DC Blocks® provide a safer lifting experience. Wooden blocks can be slippery and lack flexibility when adjusting height, while rubber blocks tend to bounce when weights fall on them – a potential hazard in the gym. DC Blocks®, on the other hand, are made from 100% recycled plastics with an interlocking design that keeps them stable on rubber or carpet floors. They are also designed to withstand harsh impacts without cracking, bouncing or breaking, and the ridged edge prevents the weights from rolling away during use, ensuring both safety and durability.
Designed for the serious athlete
DC Blocks® are perfect for a wide variety of training exercises – from cleans and jerks to plyometrics, box squats, step-ups and much more. What makes them particularly unique is their stackable and modular design. Each block offers a 5cm height increment, giving athletes and coaches the flexibility to fine-tune the height of the block for a specific workout. Whether you’re adjusting a slight modification to a movement or preparing for an elite-level competition, DC Blocks® allow you to customize your setup effortlessly.
Lightweight and easy to store
Compared to bulky wooden blocks, DC Blocks® are lightweight and much easier to transport. 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 workout area. This makes it a practical choice for home gyms, training facilities or large commercial spaces.
Built to last
One of the remarkable features of DC Blocks® is their environmentally friendly design. Made from materials previously considered “non-recyclable,” DC Blocks® are as environmentally friendly as they are durable. UV resistant and virtually indestructible, they can be used indoors or outdoors without fear of fading or wear over time. They are strong enough to withstand falling iron and rocks, providing 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 long-lasting investment that you won’t need to replace.
The Perfect Jerk Platform
DC Blocks® are designed to provide weightlifters with the ideal platform for clean and jerk exercises. Rigid construction and castellated tops improve stability and ensure the blocks can support 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 fall. For an even quieter experience, you can add the DC Blocks® Crash Cushion – a comfortable, noise-reducing cushion that fits securely on top of the DC Blocks® and stays in place with its designed cutout bottom.
