Exercise Description:
The dumbbell Arnold press is a compound exercise that works all three heads of the deltoid: the anterior (front), lateral (side), and posterior (rear) deltoids. It also engages the triceps and the upper back muscles.
To do a dumbbell Arnold press, start with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing forward and your arms at your sides. Slowly raise the dumbbells to shoulder height, rotating your palms so that they are facing upwards at the top of the movement. Continue raising the dumbbells overhead, rotating your palms back to facing forward. Lower the dumbbells back to your sides.
The dumbbell Arnold press is a great exercise to include in your routine because it works all three heads of the deltoid, which gives you well-rounded shoulders. This can help you improve your posture, perform other exercises more effectively, and prevent injuries.
The dumbbell Arnold press can also translate into daily life in a few ways. First, it can help you improve your overhead strength, which is important for activities like lifting heavy objects or carrying groceries. Second, it can help you improve your range of motion in your shoulders, which can help you avoid pain and stiffness. Third, it can help you build muscle in your shoulders, which can give you a more attractive physique.
Proper form is important when doing the dumbbell Arnold press to avoid injury. Here are some cues to help you maintain proper form:
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Don't let your elbows flare out to the sides.
- Keep your shoulders down and back.
- Don't overextend your range of motion at the top of the movement.
