How to do it

Half-kneeling single-arm Arnold press: exercise position

Half-kneeling single-arm Arnold press

Arnold press with one dumbbell from half-kneeling that integrates shoulder rotation, triceps and pelvic stability.

Form. Set one knee firmly, keep your ribs over your pelvis and rotate the dumbbell smoothly before pressing without leaning toward the loaded side.

Common mistake. Arching the back, turning the trunk, losing knee support, or using a painful shoulder rotation.
