Industrial Athletic Jerk blocks create a solid base at different heights, in order for an athlete to position a barbell to key heights to assist in Olympic or strength lifts. These blocks are stackable and constructed from a high quality 18mm thick plywood. Some of the best features include CNC machined parts and strategically aligned inserts for a great stacking fit. All top plates are also double-walled for integrity and strength.

We've used tech screws every 150mm to give you an internally braced block for complete strength and rigidity. We have opted for a solid ply timber top instead of a rubber layer used by others. When using jerk blocks for fast and technical movements, weights can be propelled in unintended directions. Control is essential, therefore a dead blow surface is preferred. Adding rubber to the surface can cause a very much undesired bouncing effect of the weights and bar.

The Olympic lift movements of clean & jerk and the snatch are considered the most all-around movements for strength, power, coordination and mobility. Widely renowned since the early days of weightlifting and strength training as the ultimate test of a person’s ability to move heavy weights, explosively, and with control.

Industrial Athletic Jerk Blocks allow an athlete to position a loaded barbell at a variety of positions in order to maximise your potential at every stage of a lift. The ability to isolate the movement, or begin and end at set key positions, will ultimately reward you with a more complete lift. After all – ‘The sum of all parts is greater than the whole’
