Front Dumbbell Press (Arnold’s) This exercise is meant to build overall shoulder strength.  By increasing your linear overload you will see gains in many of your upper body lifts; including bench press, incline bench press, and upper core strength. This exercise is excellent for any athlete that places high strain and repetitions on their arms.
Description
  1. Sit on a bench, keeping the back straight, and hold dumbbells at shoulder level with an underhand grip (thumbs pointing away from each other).
  2. Inhale and extend the arms vertically while rotating 180 degrees at the wrists, bringing them into an overhand grip (thumbs pointing toward each other).
  3. Exhale at the end of the movement then return to starting position by slowly lowering and then rotating at the wrists the opposite from the extension.
Things to Keep in Mind
  • Keep your back straight and remain under control at all times. Lower weight if necessary.
