  1. 1. Please lift the dumbbell by rotating it so that your palm faces forward.
  2. 2. Please lift it without bringing the dumbbell to the center.
  3. 3. Slowly return to the starting position.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. This exercise uses the front deltoids more than a typical shoulder press.
  2. 2. For those with rotator cuff issues, I recommend the Arnold press over the standard shoulder press.

Form

  1. 1. Slowly lift your arms to shoulder height while keeping your elbows slightly bent.
  2. 2. Make sure the palms of your hands are facing the floor or towards the front of your body.
  3. 3. Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.
  4. 4. However, do not lower your arms completely; only lower them until your shoulders are relaxed.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. Please be careful not to raise your hands higher than shoulder height.
  2. 2. If your palms are facing behind your body, it may cause shoulder pain, so please keep them facing the floor or in front of your body.
