Viking Press
- 1 - Start by setting up a Viking Press apparatus, which typically consists of a sturdy frame with handles or grips at shoulder level. Load the weight plates onto the apparatus.
- 2 - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing the Viking Press machine.
- 3 - Position yourself under the handles, so they are at shoulder level or slightly lower when you reach up to grip them.
- 4 - Grip the handles with your palms facing forward, similar to a military press or overhead press grip.
- 5 - Lift the handles from the machine and bring them down to your shoulders, keeping your elbows bent and your upper arms parallel to the ground.
- 6 - Stand up straight with your chest out and core engaged.
- 7 - Press the handles upward by extending your arms fully until they are overhead. Keep your core tight and maintain a stable lower body.
- 8 - Lower the handles back to shoulder level to complete one repetition. Repeat the press for the desired number of reps.
