Dumbbell Push Press

Overhead Power

WHAT IS IT

The Dumbbell Push Press is one of the most HYROX-specific accessory lifts. It bridges the strict dumbbell press and the full thruster, teaching you to drive overhead with the legs, which is exactly the mechanic that keeps a hundred wall balls moving.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height, elbows in front of the bar of the bell.
  2. 2Brace the core and dip a few inches by bending the knees, keeping the torso upright.
  3. 3Drive hard through the legs and use that momentum to punch both bells overhead.
  4. 4Lock the arms out fully with the bells stacked over the shoulders.
  5. 5Lower under control back to the shoulders and go straight into the next rep.
