Dumbbell Seated One Arm Rotate
Description
The dumbbell seated one arm rotate is a Russian twist style move where one dumbbell is held and twisted side to side from a seated V position. The single-arm pattern challenges anti-rotation on the empty side while building rotational power on the working side. It is a strong core developer.
