Exercise Description

The standing arnold press builds strong, round shoulders while hitting all three heads of your deltoids. It also works your core and gives you better shoulder mobility.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold dumbbells at shoulder height with palms facing you 2. Keep your core tight and chest up throughout the standing arnold press movement 3. Rotate your palms outward as you press the weights up overhead in a smooth arc 4. At the top, your palms should face forward with arms fully extended 5. Lower the dumbbells back down while rotating palms back to starting position

Form Tips

• Keep your core engaged during the standing arnold press to protect your lower back • Don't rush the rotation - smooth and controlled movement gets better results • Start light with the standing arnold press until you master the rotation pattern • Keep your shoulders down and back, don't let them roll forward

Common Mistakes

• Rushing through the standing arnold press rotation instead of moving smoothly • Using too much weight before mastering the standing arnold press technique • Letting your lower back arch excessively during the pressing motion
