Viking Press – Strongman Shoulder Press Machine
Viking Press – Classic Strongman Movement, Now More Versatile
The Viking Press is a staple of Strongman shoulder training and this heavy-duty attachment brings that iconic movement to your gym or event setup. Built for both training and competition, the design has been carefully refined in collaboration with professional Strongman athletes.
The de-coupling bracket allows for maximum versatility:
- Lock the arms together for unified pressing, mimicking traditional overhead barbell movements.
- Or leave the bracket open and train with independent arms, challenging shoulder stability and unilateral strength.
The adjustable handle height makes it suitable for athletes of varying sizes, allowing everyone to press from a mechanically strong and safe position.
Why the Viking Press
Unlike a standard barbell press, the Viking Press keeps the resistance slightly in front of the body and follows a fixed path, making it easier on the shoulders while still demanding full upper-body power. It's a favourite in Strongman competitions because it allows heavy overhead pressing without the spinal compression associated with axial loads.
With this version’s chrome and black powder-coated finish, it delivers both performance and presentation, equally suited for gym floors or public comps.

| The Log Press is one of the classic lifts of the Strongman world. Our Riot Steel Log has been carefully designed to replicate competition standards and handle a big press. Strongman Logs are fantastic for developing strength, coordination and explosiveness and require lifters to use their legs, back, and shoulders as they shift the weight from the ground to an overhead position. Our Competition Log uses high-quality, 4mm thick steel and has a black powder coating which provides superior grip to a glossy finish. Featuring a 32cm diameter and a 125cm length (loading pins excluded), this is the largest Strongman Log in our range and is not to be underestimated. The frame alone weighs almost 50kg and makes a perfect basis for working on your technique. Olympic sized plates can be loaded on both ends to build up to a bigger weight than you’ll ever need: Due to the dual thick steel plate support for the loading pin we give the log a maximum load rating of 250kg. The hand holes provide ample room for your forearms and the handles have been appropriately positioned for improved stability and comfort overhead and in the clean. Additionally, the neutral grip of the handles reduces shoulder strain when lifting heavy. Specifications: Total Length: 203cm Body Length: 125cm Loadable Sleeve Length: 40cm Handle Distance (Centre to Centre): 62cm Handle Diameter: 32mm Steel Thickness: 4mm Log Diameter: 32cm Approx Weight: 47KG Made according to the classic IFSA log standard specifications Note: These logs should NOT be dropped directly on the floor. Use thick mats, safety pads, or tires for dropping. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
