In this quick video clip I'm demonstrating how to do the Arnold Press shoulder press variation and how you can work the different heads of the deltoids and get some unique muscle building benefits from this cool exercise.

question: any added benefit than regulars? also, always start every rep from a dead position? i thought i could handle a lot less weight on these, but it was about the same as regular db presses.

@secutorclaudius

It's just hitting the muscles from a different angle, one way is not necessarily better or worse than the other. I stick to regular db presses 90% of the time, but I'll add in Arnold presses every now and then for variety.

i dont like how it's very up-down in this individual's technique, i prefer and as far as i have seen, should be a more circular-motion upwards as well as not extending the arm at full length towards the top because that relieves the strain on the shoulder setting it on the joints instead of muscle.

I love this excersise. I find when I do normal dumbell press, my one shoulder hurts on the negatives. With this, it doesn't bother me at all. Also seems to give you a greater ROM.

hey lee, you should get steve-o to come lift with you for one of your videos, that would be really cool since you guys look like twins

[eplumain]

it looks safe, as the shoulders transfers the stress on the biceps,but without making it easier as you have to lift from the bottom again, I'm only worry about the strain on the elbows on the rotation, focus must be the key...

arnold press is my favourite, when im trying to go heavy with this exercise its quite hard, since its hard to have people to spot u

unlike dumbbell press
