Common Questions

What dumbbell weight should I use for AMRAP workouts?

Use a weight that allows you to perform the first 2 rounds unbroken, but forces you to break sets by round 4–5. For most athletes, this is 30–45 lbs for men and 15–25 lbs for women in a moderate-duration AMRAP.

What is the devil press exercise?

A devil press is a burpee with a dumbbell snatch finish: start in a standing position with dumbbells, drop to the floor with hands on the dumbbells, perform a burpee, then stand and use momentum to snatch both dumbbells overhead in one motion. It's a full-body movement that appears frequently in dumbbell WODs.

Can I do dumbbell AMRAPs as a beginner?

Yes — use lighter weights and simpler movements. Dumbbell thrusters, lunges, and rows are beginner-accessible. The AMRAP format is inherently self-scaling since you move at your own pace.

What are the best dumbbell movements for AMRAPs?

Dumbbell thrusters, single-arm snatch, devil press, dumbbell clean and jerk, and dumbbell lunges produce the highest training stimulus per unit of time. They combine upper and lower body work with a conditioning demand.
