🚨 What is Arnold Dumbbell Press (Arnold Press)

The Arnold dumbbell press or Arnold press, an effective variation of the shoulder press, is one of the best exercises that target your deltoid muscles. It is named after the bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, who performed these moves to achieve his mammoth shoulders. The workout involves rotational movement while you are pressing and thus helps in increasing your shoulder stability.
