How to: Arnold Press – Shoulder Workout

The Arnold Press is a great exercise to work those deltoids and triceps. Shoulder muscles tend to be neglected but they need just as much love as everything else!

Level: Intermediate
Muscles: Deltoids, Triceps
Equipment: Bench and Dumbbell Weights

Instructions:
Step 1: Begin by holding two dumbbell weights at the level of your shoulders while sitting on a bench. Both of your palms should start off by facing you.

Step 2: While pushing upward with the dumbbell weights rotate them at the same time so that your palms face outward when arms are fully extended at top. Do not lock your elbows.

Step 3: Lastly, bring back the weights to starting position the way you brought them up. In the end your palms should be facing you once again at starting position.

Tips: Keep your back straight and neck straight throughout exercise to prevent injuries. Start out with a lower weight if it is your first time to learn the motion of this exercise and think about having a spotter just in case.
