Arnold Press
Lateral, front shoulderAbout
It's a workout made by a man named Arnold that can develop shoulder muscles as a whole!
How to Arnold Press
Starting Position
1. Sit on the bench, puff out your chest, and straighten your back.
2. If there is a backrest, adjust it to about 70-80 degrees instead of 90 degrees.
3. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and position them in front of your body.
4. The palms should face towards your body.
Proper Form
1. Please lift the dumbbell by rotating it so that your palm faces forward.
2. Please lift it without bringing the dumbbell to the center.
3. Slowly return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.
Precautions
1. This exercise uses the front deltoids more than a typical shoulder press.
2. For those with rotator cuff issues, I recommend the Arnold press over the standard shoulder press.
