Devil press: how to do it

1 of 5

Set the dumbbells on the floor

  1. Starting position

    Stand shoulder-width with a dumbbell in each hand and your arms by your sides.

  2. The movement

    Set the dumbbells down, jump back, lower your chest and push back up, jump in and swing the dumbbells in one motion from the floor to straight overhead.

Most common mistake

Don't round your back as the dumbbells leave the floor, hinge at your hips and drive them up with your hips and legs.
