Arnold Press
Start with the dumbbells in front, palms facing you; rotate out as you press overhead.
How to do it
Setup
Bells at the shoulders, palms facing you, elbows in front.
Steps
- Press up while rotating the palms to face forward.
- Finish locked out over the shoulders.
- Reverse the rotation on the way down.
Common mistakes
Rushing the rotation: it spreads across the WHOLE press. Arching the back: ribs down, glutes tight. Stopping short of lockout: full finish overhead.
Breathing
Exhale on the press, inhale lowering.
