I tried the Arnold press for the first time a week ago & I have to say that it's difficult to determine which one works better. The best thing about both of them though, is that it's all about the free weights!

I think the Arnold press is just better at isolating your front delts.

I love dumbell presses but

I love dumbell presses but always felt like i got more out of the Arnold press. Where you start with palms facing you and twist on the way up.
