4 Step By Step Shoulder Press Exercises - Ultimate Guide 

#3 Arnold Press

No prizes for guessing after which iconic action superstar cum bodybuilder this press was named after. The Arnold press is an incarnation of the standing dumbbell press, only more Schwarzeneggerisque.

Step 1

Hold a dumbbell in each hand and take a seat on a bench or any other surface that promises sturdiness. Bring the dumbbells face-level while making sure that your fingers are facing you, similar to a boxing stance.

Step 2

Raise the dumbbells up and give them a twist mid-air so that your knuckles now face you by the time you reach the top.

Step 3

Lower the dumbbells while twisting your arms back in their starting position.

Important Tip: Begin with 4 sets of 8-10 reps.
