Arnold presses or regular dumbell presses-which do you prefer/think works better

[MattRecc]

I Myself find that i feel like i get a better work out and its easier for me to keep form and not cheat by doing the arnolds, just curious if anyone else does them?

Arnolds are a horrible exercise IMO, some people swear by them but in my experience they just mean an increase in shoulder pain and a decrease in the amount you can lift.

How are you cheating in the regular presses, arching too much?

I use Arnold Presses with the 2.75's or 5.5's that I have...for warm ups.

I am in absolute agreement bro. In no way can rotating your shoulders with all that weight & tension on them, equate to anything other than rotator cuff, joint, and ligament problems. Arnolds, if named after anyone else on the planet, would be considered a running gag at best in my opinion. They suck.
