Frequently asked questions about jerk blocks

1. Are his jerk blocks only for weightlifting?

No! Jerk blocks are versatile and not just for Olympic weightlifters. They are also used for plyo training, strength training, and mobility work. Think of box squats, pulls from different heights, and even explosive jump training. They are ideal for isolating specific parts of a lift and refining technique without having to start from the ground each time.

2. How do I set jerk blocks to the correct height?

Depending on your exercise and body height, stack the blocks to the desired height. For jerks, you usually want the barbell at chest height, while for pulls or deadlifts, you set the blocks lower. In some sets, the blocks are modular, and you can adjust the height per layer for optimal performance and comfort.

3. Does a rubber mat really prevent noise disturbance?

Yes! A rubber mat under your jerk blocks dampens the impact of falling weights, reducing noise and vibrations. This is especially useful if you train in a home gym or shared space, where loud thuds can be disruptive. Additionally, the mat protects both your jerk blocks and the floor from wear.
