Arnold Press

Starting position

• Sit upright, dumbbells in front of the shoulders, palms facing you.
• Back against the backrest, abs braced.

Execution

• As you press up, rotate the hands outward until they face forward at the top.
• Rotate back as you lower.
• One smooth movement without pausing in the middle.

Common mistakes

• Too much weight: the rotation gets sloppy.
• Arched back.
• Swinging the elbows wide.
