😫 ARNOLD PRESS: Is it worth it? | PD #shorts

The Arnold Press can undoubtedly serve its purpose in someone's training — especially if they enjoy the movement — but, in my opinion, there are more effective ways to press overhead. There are also better ways to train all three heads of the shoulder, which is a commonly listed benefit of this exercise.

And to reiterate my point from the video: I do not think the "rotation of the arms" brings many benefits to this movement outside of simply working around discomfort, allowing you to perform the exercise with more load/volume, and potentially generating a little momentum.

So, do I perform the Arnold Press in my training? I don't. I tend to choose movements that line up with the muscles I am trying to target (in this case, my front delts), allowing me to work in a movement pattern that doesn't bring me joint pain or discomfort.

And this should go without saying: I am not expressing Arnold himself is x,y, or z. This has nothing to do with Arnold; This has to do with an exercise.

And ultimately, this has to do with the many bold claims being made about a movement that doesn't live up to the hype (again, in my opinion).

But hey, if you like the movement, do it — no skin off my back.

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
