Exercise Description

The arnold press targets all three shoulder heads through a unique rotating motion. This builds bigger, stronger shoulders while improving mobility.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with back support, holding dumbbells at shoulder height with palms facing you 2. Press the weights up while rotating your wrists so palms turn away from you 3. Complete the arnold press by fully extending arms overhead with palms facing forward 4. Reverse the motion by rotating palms back toward you as you lower the weights 5. Return to starting position and repeat the arnold press movement

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire arnold press movement • Rotate your wrists smoothly - don't jerk or snap them • Control the weight on the way down, don't let gravity take over • Start light with the arnold press until you master the rotating motion

Common Mistakes

• Rushing the rotation and losing control of the arnold press form • Using too much weight before mastering the technique • Letting shoulders roll forward instead of keeping them back and down during the arnold press
