How to perform?

The standing dumbbell Arnold press is a compound exercise that targets the anterior and lateral heads of the shoulder muscles (deltoids). It involves a combination of shoulder abduction and external rotation, which allows for a greater range of motion and activation of the shoulder muscles. The triceps and upper chest are also involved as secondary muscles, while the upper back and rotator cuff muscles act as stabilizers. Additionally, the exercise engages the core muscles to maintain balance and stability during the movement.
