Sup, I was wondering if any of you do these cuban presses? How is it done? Does anyone have diagrams to show this movement?
Peace out.
Peace out.

I can press 2 cubans, three if they're girls. I once pressed a cuban and a russian. But that's another story.
So !!.
sam, thanks for the link dude. 
19inch: wtf?

Not quite, Arnold presses start from a normal weight at shoulders position. This seems to start from a low position like reverse curls. I take it you actually more or less curl the weight up to the high position, while squeezing your shoulders together. And back down. At least that is what I get from the description , and photos.
Ok, I found a better description using a bar.
Start from the same position that you would end up with doing an up-right row. But with a wider grip so your upper arms are level with your shoulders. Rotate the bar outward and up to a full military press position. Return by rotating the bar back inward at the shoulder level position. Light weight is recommended to start this one with. It's a rotor cuff exercise.

No front raises are a straight lateral movement. This has a rotation to it, I tried a few to see. I don't know how much good they would do, but they are very stressful. The site I found the above description on, recommended using only the weight of an Olympic bar at first 45 Lb.
-hold light DBs or none at all
-Put your arms parallel with the floor
-bend your elbows so that your forearms are making a right angle (palms facing the wall behind you)
-from there externally rotate (so that your fingers go from pointing behind you and at the floor to now pointing at the ceiling with the palms facing the wall in front of you. Arms should be making a right angle upward now).
- do a press overhead from there.
1) start light.....very light (especially anytime you have to externally rotate your shoulder).
2) yes I do them
3) I usually do them lying face down on a stability ball which adds not only core stability to the issue but greater shoulder stability as in the press you are now trying to keep your arms from falling forward. Start with no weight on these though.
