Dumbbell Standing Single-Arm Arnold Press
The standing Arnold press with one dumbbell; the load on one side makes the trunk resist a lean while the palm turns out on the way up.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet hip-width, one dumbbell in front of the shoulder with the palm facing you, the other hand on the hip.
Steps
- Press the bell up while turning the palm to face forward.
- Finish with the arm straight and the palm forward.
- Lower along the same turn; finish the side, then switch.
Common mistakes
Bending away from the bell: stand tall, hips level. Turning the hand after the press instead of during it: the turn and the press happen together. Letting the bell drift behind the head: finish it over the shoulder.
Breathing
Exhale on the press, inhale lowering.
