Shoulder Arnold Press with Dumbbells
Sit tall on a bench or seat with your feet planted, core engaged and back straight. Hold two dumbbells at shoulder height with palms facing body.
Keeping your palms facing in, press the dumbbells overhead while rotating your wrists outward so palms face forward at the top.
Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position, rotating your wrists back inward as you do so.
Repeat for reps, making sure to fully rotate the wrists on each rep - palms in at bottom, palms out at top.
Exhale pressing the weights up and inhale as you lower them with control. Keep your core tight.
Avoid leaning back or swinging the weights. Move slowly with control and stability through the full range of motion.
Start with lighter weights to master the form. Increase weight gradually while maintaining proper technique.
The Arnold press targets the front and side heads of the shoulders for complete development.
Maintain stability and control throughout the movement pattern to get the most from this exercise.
