Viking Press

How to

Machine
  1. 1 Stand under the handles, palms facing in.
  2. 2 Press up to near lockout.
  3. 3 Lower slowly to shoulder height.

Tips

  • The neutral handles keep the elbows forward, which many shoulders like.
  • Brace the abs; the machine does not stop the back from arching.
  • Log the plates you add.

Common mistakes

  • Leaning back and pushing with the torso.
  • Locking out hard and resting at the top.
  • Dipping the knees to help.
