Arnold Dumbbell Presses

Instructions

• Slowly press the dumbbells directly above your shoulders while turning your palms out as your reach the top of the movement.
• Press the dumbbells to the point where your elbows almost lock out.
• Lower the weights in the reverse manner, ending the movement with your palms facing in towards you and the weights steady by your shoulders.

• Please be aware that you should perform this movement slowly, concentrating on working the front and side heads of the deltoid. Be sure to not lock out your elbows at the top to keep the stress on the muscles in use.
