The Dumbbell Arnold Press is a variation of the traditional dumbbell shoulder press that was popularized by bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger. This exercise targets multiple shoulder muscles and provides a unique range of motion that can help enhance shoulder strength and stability.
Let's get started by grabbing both your dumbbells and bringing them up to shoulder height with the arms bent and rotate your palms so they are facing you.
This is the starting position.
From here extend your arms overhead, as you do so rotate the dumbbells until the palms are facing forward and until your arms are almost locked out, or as high as you can.
Once done, return the dumbbells back down safely to shoulder height, rotating them back so we return to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
If you find yourself tipping backwards as you raise your arms up, put the back of your chair against a wall to help prevent this.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
