Arnold Shoulder Press
This exercise focuses on working your arms but focuses more on your shoulders. The shoulders are a smaller muscle group — it doesn't take much weight or many repetitions to feel fatigue.

Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Start by grabbing two light dumbbells — one for each hand.
- 2
Stand tall with your feet about shoulder-width apart with your toes pointing forward and your knees slightly bent.
- 3
Bend your elbows and lift the dumbbells so that they are shoulder level, palms facing toward your shoulders.
- 4
Slowly press the dumbbells up and above your head. As you do, twist your palms so they are facing forward.
- 5
Slowly lower the dumbbells by bending your elbows while twisting the dumbbells so that your palms return to facing your shoulders — that is the starting position.
- 6
Repeat this movement for approximately 10–20 repetitions or until your shoulders feel fatigued.
Notes
This exercise will help build sculpted shoulders that always look great in spring/summer fashion styles.
