Dumbbell Alternate Arnold Press
The seated Arnold press one arm at a time: one bell turns and presses overhead while the other waits at the shoulder, palm facing you.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on a flat bench, back tall, bells in front of the shoulders with the palms facing you.
Steps
- Press one bell up, turning the palm to face forward at the top.
- Lower it with the reverse turn while the other bell stays put.
- Press the other side, alternating every rep.
Common mistakes
Leaning toward the resting side as one arm presses: sit tall, both hips heavy on the bench. Resting bell drooping from the shoulder: keep it up, palm facing you. Skipping the turn on the way down: reverse the rotation every rep.
Breathing
Exhale on the press, inhale lowering.
