Arnold Press - Dumbbell
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin in a seated position while holding two dumbbells overhead with your palms facing out. From here, lower the dumbbells and rotate your palms to face you while you bring your elbows together in front of you. Press the weight back up and repeat for the prescribed amount of reps.
- FEEL: You should feel your shoulder muscles working.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your elbows in tight when you rotate them down. Don’t keep them out like a regular shoulder press.
