Seated Arnold Press

- Sit on the floor with legs in a ‘V’ position.
- Hold one dumbbell in each hand and position them in front of the shoulders, palms facing body and elbows under wrists.
- Keeping the core muscles tight, initiate the movement by bringing elbows out to sides and continue to raise elbows outward while pressing dumbbells overhead until arms are straight.
- Lower to front of shoulders in opposite pattern.
- Repeat for reps.
Number of Sets: 4
Reps per Set: 6-10
Rest Time: 1-2 minutes
Quick Tip:
1) When performing overheard presses, make sure the head remains drawn back. This will help prevent excessive stress from being placed on the neck muscles and spine. The starting position should look like the contracted portion of a dumbbell curl.
2) Drop the weight. This exercise is more difficult than your average overhead press so start out with weight that is lighter than your standard military press weight.
- You can modify the exercise by performing the movement:
1) Sitting on a chair or bench
2) Standing
3) Alternating-Arms
Strength Goal:
- Be able to do at least 10 Arnold Presses in a row with the weight being at least 40% of your body weight.
