Making the EU Rogue Birch Jerk Blocks – 4k

Published: April 13, 2018 | Updated: May 9, 2025

In the small town of Kuortane, Finland, 200 miles north of Helsinki, woodworker Jukka Vähämäki crafts birch wood into bomb-proof Rogue EU jerk blocks (EU Store) for training the olympic lifts. Using a combination of modern wood-working tools and traditional hand tools, Vähämäki himself builds each and every block for these high-quality sets.

These blocks are sold in our EU store only. The U.S. version of the Jerk Blocks are made in Columbus, Ohio.
