Half Arnold Press
How to Do:
Starting Position:
Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing your body, and elbows bent at 90 degrees. The dumbbells should be at shoulder height.
Press Up:
Exhale and press the dumbbells overhead, rotating your palms to face forward as you extend your arms. The dumbbells should move in a half arc, stopping when your arms are almost fully extended, with the dumbbells above your head.
Lower:
Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, rotating your palms back toward your body as you bring the weights down.
Repeat:
Perform the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Benefits:
The Half Arnold Press targets the front and middle deltoids while also engaging the triceps. By incorporating rotation, it helps improve shoulder stability and mobility. This variation offers a more controlled movement, helping to build strength and definition in the shoulders while reducing the risk of shoulder strain.
