Alternating Arnold Press – Dumbbell
- Begin standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of each shoulder, palms facing your body. This is your starting position.
- Rotate your wrists as you press one dumbbell overhead, turning the palm away from your body during the movement.
- Simultaneously maintain the starting position with the other arm, keeping the dumbbell at shoulder height and palm facing your body.
- Fully extend the pressing arm until it is straight overhead.
- Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position, rotating the wrist back to the starting position.
- Immediately rotate the alternate hand’s wrist, pressing the other dumbbell overhead with the same motion.
- Continue alternating the press between each arm for the desired number of repetitions.
