Single Arm Arnold Press

How to Do:

1. Hold a dumbbell in one hand at shoulder height, palm facing your chest, and stand or sit with a straight posture.
2. Begin by rotating your palm outward as you press the dumbbell upward in a controlled motion.
3. Fully extend your arm overhead, ensuring your palm faces forward at the top.
4. Pause briefly, then slowly reverse the movement, rotating your palm back toward your chest as you lower the dumbbell to the starting position.
5. Complete the desired number of reps on one arm before switching to the other side.

Benefits:

The Single Arm Arnold Press enhances shoulder strength and mobility by engaging the deltoids, rotator cuff, and stabilising muscles. The rotational movement improves shoulder joint flexibility and functional strength. Performing the exercise one arm at a time also helps correct muscle imbalances and strengthens core stability as it resists rotational forces.
