Standing Arnold Press

How To Do A Standing Arnold Press Correctly

The Standing Arnold Press is a fantastic exercise that targets all heads of the shoulders.

By standing, you also engage more muscles in the core to stabilize the overhead pressing.

To get started:

1. With a shoulder width stance, hold a pair of dumbbells in front of your upper chest, with elbows bent, and palms facing your body.
2. To lift the dumbbells over your head, simultaneously rotate your wrists so they now face away from you, while drawing the elbows out to the sides, so you upper arms are parallel to the ground, then extend your arms to press the dumbbells over your head.
3. Under control, slowly reverse the movement back to the starting position and repeat.
