Extension and flexion of the arms while standing upright ► db shoulder press / arnold press

Individual work

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the weights in front of your chest with your arms bent. The upper arms are close to the body, the elbows are pointing downwards and the forearms and backs of the hands are pointing forwards. From this position, practically bring the arms together in a circular rotational movement overhead. In the end position, the arms are stretched vertically upwards with the backs of the hands pointing backwards. Reverse the sequence of movements to bring the dumbbells back to the starting position towards your chest.

Attention:
Do not fully straighten your arms, straight back (possibly back against a wall), actively tense your core.
