How to: Arnold Press

Primary Muscles Used:Shoulders, Arms, Anterior Deltoid, Lateral Deltoid, Triceps

Exercise Families:Vertical Push

Equipment:Dumbbell(s)

Trainer:Kelsey Wells

  1. Holding two dumbbells with an underhand grip (palms facing towards your body) directly in front of your chest, plant both feet on the floor slightly further than shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. Exhale. Using the muscles in both your shoulders and arms, extend your elbows to press the dumbbells above your head, rotating your wrists outwards (internal rotation) to turn your palms away from your body. Your arms should be in line with your ears on either side of your head.
  3. Inhale. Once your arms are fully extended, bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells into your chest and rotate your wrists inwards (external rotation) to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
