Half Kneeling Arnold Press
This single arm movement is not only a great shoulder building exercise, but also develops strength and stability in the core and hips. Working balance will improve athletic performance and is great injury prevention. As we age, we tend to lose balance and the ability to correct our positioning for corrective action. One of the best ways to combat this is to consistently work it.
This movement works well as an accessory lift for a compound such as an overhead press or a bench press. It also can be utilized for correcting squatting and stepping patterns.
Some benefits of the Half Kneeling Arnold Press is building size and strength, it forces the core to stabilize an uneven load, and it is an all-encompassing exercise by also stabilizing the hips, back, and trunk through the kneeling position. The primary muscles worked here are the anterior, lateral, and medial delts as well as the traps and triceps chip in as secondary movers. The core and hips are worked as stabilizer muscles.
