Exercise Description

The seated arnold press builds shoulder strength and size through a full range of motion. It hits all three shoulder heads while keeping your core stable.

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 outward during the seated arnold press movement 3. At the top, your palms should face forward with arms fully extended overhead 4. Lower the weights back down while rotating palms back toward you for the seated arnold press 5. Return to starting position with dumbbells at shoulder level and palms facing inward

Form Tips

• Keep your back pressed against the bench throughout the entire seated arnold press movement • Rotate your wrists smoothly - don't jerk or snap them during the press • Control the weight on the way down for better muscle activation in your seated arnold press • Keep your core tight to prevent arching your lower back

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and losing control of the rotation in your seated arnold press • Arching your back off the bench to help push the weight up • Rushing through the seated arnold press without proper wrist rotation timing
