Yes I was using it as the primary exercise and going heavy (relative to me, anyways). My tempo was good on the exercise, no hurry or bouncing.

The arnold press also involves the standard dumbell press, so what is so bad about going heavy with the arnold press and not a dumbell press?

Isn't the arnold press where you have your palms facing you in front of your shoulders then you rotate out then press?
