ARNOLD PRESS
This is a modified version of the conventional SHOULDER PRESS exercise. This exercise can be done seated or standing. Hold two dumbbells at the front of your chest with your palm facing your body. Your elbow should be directly below your wrists to support the hand. Simultaneously externally rotate and abduct the arms into an overhead press. Keep the elbows directly below the wrists during this movement to keep the forearms perpendicular to the floor.
