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

Sit with your arms bent and hold the weights in front of your chest (back straight). 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.

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