9115 ADJ Metal Jerk Block

Jerk Blocks are essential tools for strength training with barbells, particularly in competitive Olympic weightlifting. Our model, 9115 ADJ Metal Jerk Blocks, has been developed based on the experience and needs of weightlifting-specialized gyms, with special attention to young athletes’ training.

This equipment consists of a pair of robust shaped rubber blocks with sturdy metal frames, making it highly technical and specific. Designed to provide a secure and stable support for a loaded barbell, it is ideal for executing jerk and overhead press exercises, from which the name Jerk Blocks originates.

Similarities with Wooden Jerk Plyoblocks 9113

• Safety & Injury Prevention: These blocks specialize in overhead pressing exercises, allowing athletes to train with heavy loads while reducing injury risk. Since the movement is segmented, there’s no need to lift the barbell from the ground with each repetition.
• Versatility: The barbell supports allow for a variety of accessory exercises and movement variations, enhancing the specialization of technical movements.

Exercises That Can Be Performed with Jerk Blocks

• Jerk: Overhead barbell movement starting from an elevated and secure position.
• Push Press: Lifting the barbell overhead with the assistance of a leg drive.
• Snatch Balance: Facilitated by an elevated starting position, this involves performing deep squats with the barbell overhead.
• Drop Snatch: The athlete rapidly drops into a deep squat while pushing the barbell overhead.

Adjustable Metal Jerk Blocks – Code 9115

The Adjustable Metal Jerk Blocks can be set to different heights, allowing the barbell (loaded with bumper plates) to be positioned between 100 cm and 145 cm from the ground.

From a practical standpoint, while height adjustments are rarely needed in gym settings due to athletes’ adaptability, adjustability becomes essential when dealing with significant physical differences, ensuring an effective and safe training experience.
