How to do the Devil’s Press

  1. The Devil’s Press is a hybrid movement combining a dumbbell burpee and a double dumbbell snatch.
  2. It’s a full-body, high-intensity exercise that develops strength, power, and metabolic conditioning.
  3. Start with a dumbbell in each hand and perform a burpee, letting your chest touch the ground while holding the dumbbells.
  4. Explosively jump your feet forward and swing the dumbbells between your legs.
  5. Drive the dumbbells overhead in one continuous motion, locking out your arms.
  6. Lower the dumbbells with control to return to the starting position and repeat
