Devil Presses

The Official Official Rule

Start with two dumbbells on the floor between your feet. Squat down, grab the dumbbells, and explosively drive upwards, launching yourself into a standing position while simultaneously pressing the dumbbells overhead.  That's one rep. Now do it again. And again. (Until your soul leaves your body.)

• Personalized fitness assessments (Maybe assess if you even want to do devil presses after learning what they are...)
• Flexible scheduling (Schedule in a good nap after the race.)
• Expertly crafted workout plans (Make sure to include some stretching and maybe a massage afterwards.)

Suck Factor

This full-body gut-check combines the joys of burpees, snatches, and overhead presses into one beautiful, masochistic movement.  Prepare for your heart rate to skyrocket, your legs to burn, and your lungs to scream for mercy.

Fancy Gyms (Not Needed)

• State-of-the-art gym equipment (Just those dumbbells and a whole lotta grit.)
• Spacious workout areas (You'll need room for those explosive jumps.)
• High-quality audio and visual systems for an engaging experience (Blast some heavy metal. Watch inspirational montages of people doing devil presses flawlessly.  Then cry.)

How to Train

Start with lighter weights and focus on good form.  Watch videos, ask trainers, and maybe sacrifice a small goat to the gods of fitness for good measure.

• Dedicated team of professional trainers (Yes, please.  You'll need someone to peel you off the floor.)
• Engaging community events (Devil press competition?  Last one standing wins...a year's supply of ibuprofen.)
• Social media groups for additional support and resources (Share your pain and triumphs with the #devilpresscult)
