lewdog_55 Posts: 383 Joined: 2002/01/23	2003/05/04, 06:16 PM Well let me try to explain...Basically a dumbell press but start out with dumbells at shoulder height and palms facing your body. You start the movement up and twist your arms so your palms face out when you get to the top. do the reverse motion on the way down so palms face toward your body again.

It is one that Arnold developped for himself, and take a look at his shoulders. They gave me great results. -------------- We must become the change we want to see.

The deltoid muscles primary function is more for stabilization, rather than being a prime mover. Don't work your shoulders with the same volume that you'd use for your chest. Shoulders are also a common injury point (particularly rotator cuffs), so watch your form. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
