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