How to do it

The Dumbbell Seated Arnold Press is a variation of the traditional shoulder press that targets the deltoid muscles, with an emphasis on the anterior deltoids. It also engages the triceps and the upper chest. Here’s a step-by-step guide to performing it correctly:

Set Up:

Sit on the edge of a bench or chair and place your hands next to your hips, gripping the edge. Extend your legs out in front of you, heels on the floor, and slide your hips off the bench, supporting your weight with your arms.

Starting Position:

Keep your arms straight and your body close to the bench.

Executing the Dip:

Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body. Continue lowering until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.

End Position:

At the bottom of the movement, your elbows should be at about a 90-degree angle.

Return to Starting Position:

Push yourself back up by straightening your arms, bringing your body back to the starting position.
