What’s an Arnold Press?

What’s an Arnold Press?

Arnold Press

The Arnold Press bears the name of its creator, Mr. Olympia himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Like regular military presses, the Arnold press can be performed seated or standing and target all three heads of the deltoid muscles (front, lateral & rear).

A big advantage of the Arnold Press is that it offers a greater range of motion than a standard military or overhead press, as the starting position of the dumbbells is slightly lower in front and the shoulder joint is more internally rotated.

Arnold Press

Arnold Press

1 – Stand upright holding dumbbells at shoulder height with your elbows bent and your palms facing back.

2 – Press the dumbbells overhead, extending your arms fully and turning at the wrists to finish with palms facing out.

• Keep your back flat and remain upright throughout the movement.

2011 Atlanta Peachtree 10k Race Training Schedule

Start each run with a 5-10 minute warm up walk. Finish up with a 5-10 minute cool-down walk.

It’s better to take a rest day or do cross training on the days in between runs. Cross-training can be walking, biking, swimming, or any other activity (other than running) that you enjoy.
