The Arnold Press is a shoulder exercise that targets the deltoid muscles, providing both mass and definition to the shoulders. It involves a unique twisting motion that helps engage more muscle fibers for comprehensive shoulder development.

How to do it

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart holding dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing body.
  2. Press the dumbbells overhead while rotating palms outward until they face forward.
  3. Lower the weights with a reverse motion to return to the starting position.
