Cinder blocks are essentially pressed sand with some concrete mixed in to make them hold a shape... they can be very strong in compression, but they are not stable for side loads and shearing. There is a reason martial artists like to use them for demonstrations.

Please do not get under a car sitting on cinder blocks... they won't give warning and when they do break, they shatter.
