Arnold Schwarzenegger was perhaps the many bodybuilder of all time. He won the Mr. Olympia title seven times. Becoming Mr. Olympia requires extreme dedication and many hours in the gym. In the gym, Arnold invented the "Arnold Press" - a dissimilarity of the dumbbell shoulder press.
Recently, this practice has been my favorite shoulder exercise. The shoulder joint has the most freedom of petition of any of our joints. As such, it's very involved in design. Because of this complexity, the shoulder is field to injury if not exercised properly.
To avoid shoulder injuries you should never press any weight behind your neck. This is why I like the Arnold Press. By its very design, it forces you to begin the pressing operation in front of your body. The Arnold Press is performed with dumbbells while standing or sitting.
Begin the practice by holding two dumbbells in front of your shoulders with your palms facing your body. As you push the dumbbells up, gradually rotate your wrists until, at the top of the press, your palms are facing transmit (or away from your body).
Return to the starting position in the same manner by gradually lowering the dumbbells to the front of your shoulders while rotating your wrists until your palms face you. This practice will help build and expand your deltoids, trapezius and triceps.
A dissimilarity of this practice can be performed by alternately pressing one arm at a time. Usually, you can get a few more repetitions or use more weight by doing alternating presses. Just be sure that you keep your upper body stationary and avoid any side-to-side rocking petition when doing alternating presses. Let your shoulders and arms do all the work.
Try the Arnold Press for a distinct "twist" on shoulder presses. I think you'll like it.
