DC Blocks Double Wide
DC Blocks Double Wide
All things being equal, the most powerful athlete wins. Lifting from blocks allows lifters to correctly place their body and the bar in the optimum position to quickly and repeatedly impart the greatest amount of force with the greatest velocity possible. This violent movement develops huge power output that transfers to many sports, especially weightlifting.
DC Blocks started out at the Belleville Weightlifting Club in 1983 as a series of stacked, unstable wooden 2" x 6"s nailed together to fit my dimensions. Those blocks were lightweight but not interlocking; spectacular crashes happened when I missed a big lift; the blocks, bar, and weights came tumbling down all over the place in a heap.
Today, patented technology processes previously deemed “un-recyclable” materials into loaves of malleable, warm plastic. These loaves are then placed inside a mold and, using a hydraulic press, the material is squeezed into patented Derrick Crass (DC) Blocks. Each DC Block is cooled while inside the mold and then emerges as one solid, stiff construction with superior impact resistance, strong, stackable, and indestructible.
DURABLE.
The DC Blocks design is a virtually indestructible weightlifting block for training and medical facilities. Because of the impact resistance, you can drop iron and stones upon them without the risk of breakage to the DC Blocks.
ADJUSTABLE.
The stackable, interlocking DC Blocks® allow you to adjust your set to fit your specific height and workout. The stiff construction and crenellated tops are designed for superior impact resistance and security.
Sustainable.
DC Blocks strives to reduce our carbon footprint by using 100% recycled plastics to manufacture our products, some of which have been previously deemed “unrecyclable” materials. Our products should never end up in your trash, landfills, or ocean. Since inception, we have kept over 2.3 million pounds of plastic out of oceans and landfills.
Made in the USA.
Our products are made in the USA from 100% recycled plastics with extreme impact durability and is UV resistant. Our production and fulfillment companies share our practices.
Fair Trade.
We encourage Fair Trade by having honest and transparent dialogues with international distributors in an effort to establish an equitable relationship. We outsource our production and fulfillment to companies who share our practices. We provide free or low-cost products to persons, organizations, and countries in need. In addition, we volunteer our time in educational and service settings nationally and internationally on an as needed basis.
