Viking Press Attachment

Name: Viking Press Attachment
Brand: Bells of Steel
Rating: 4.58 (4 reviews)

The Viking Press Attachment from Bells of Steel is a simple landmine accessory that turns any 2” Olympic barbell into a Viking press / shoulder press station: drop the bar into a landmine, load plates, slide the attachment over the sleeve, and lock it down with a knob. It offers four grip positions – two neutral and two regular – so lifters can press narrow or wide with palms in or facing forward, and its U-shaped frame keeps the elbows stacked under the wrists for a more joint-friendly pressing angle. The heavy-duty steel frame carries a rust-resistant black powder coat and a 661 lb weight capacity, weighs around 15.5-18 lb (listings vary), and measures roughly 28” x 17” x 4”. Beyond the core Viking press, owners use it for single-arm rows, Meadows press, T-bar rows, and half-kneeling presses.

Independent coverage is thin but consistently positive. GymRadar shows a 4.58/5 average across 4 reviews, with build quality and value rated highest; reviewers across GymRadar and Reddit repeatedly flag the locking knob as the one weak point, since it can mark up a barbell’s sleeve over months of use, and one Reddit owner reported a crooked weld out of the box. A hands-on YouTube load test up to four plates found no flex and rated it 10/10 for tricep and shoulder comfort, though that video comes from the manufacturer’s own channel rather than a fully independent reviewer.

What is a Rack Attachment?

What rack attachments are

Rack attachments bolt or pin onto a power rack or squat stand to expand what it can do — J-cups and safety arms/straps (the essentials), plus dip bars, a landmine, a lat pulldown, weight-plate storage, roller J-cups, and more. They turn a rack into a whole gym.

Compatibility comes first

An attachment must match your rack’s upright size (2x2, 2x3, or 3x3) and hole pattern/hardware (e.g. 5/8-in vs 1-in holes, Westside spacing). Attachments are usually series-specific — a Monster Lite J-cup won’t fit an Echo upright — so confirm the fit before buying.

Bells of Steel’s Viking Press Attachment is a well-liked, inexpensive way to add a Viking/shoulder press to a landmine setup, with owners across GymRadar, Reddit, and video reviews converging on the same take: easy to set up, comfortable to press, and good value for the price. Functionality and value are the standouts — the four grip positions and U-shaped elbow-stacking design earn praise for tricep and shoulder comfort, and reviewers repeatedly call out the low price relative to what it adds to a home gym. Build quality is the most contested dimension: most owners report a solid, no-flex feel even loaded with four plates, but the locking knob is a recurring gripe for marking up barbell sleeves, and one Reddit report described a crooked weld out of the box.

+Functionality: four grip positions (2 neutral, 2 regular) let lifters press narrow/wide with palms in or forward, and the U-shaped frame stacks elbows under wrists for a more joint-friendly press (manufacturer, GymRadar)
+Value: repeatedly called out as inexpensive for what it adds — reviewers on Reddit and GymRadar note it's a fraction of the cost of a second barbell's worth of exercises (r/homegym, GymRadar)
+Build quality: held up over months of use with no flex even loaded to four plates, and the powder coat resists chalk buildup (GymRadar, YouTube)
+Versatility: works for landmine shoulder press, rows, front squats, lunges, and RDLs beyond the core Viking press movement (manufacturer, YouTube)

−Build quality: the locking knob is a recurring complaint for marking up barbell sleeves and collars over time (GymRadar, manufacturer)
−Build quality: one Reddit owner reported a handle welded on crooked with an uneven distance to the center sleeve, a QC outlier worth flagging (r/homegym)
−Durability: independent long-term ownership data is thin — GymRadar's sample is only 4 reviews, and the most detailed video review is from the manufacturer's own channel rather than a fully independent reviewer
−Value: one Reddit commenter rated Bells of Steel overall below other brands they'd tried, though they kept this specific attachment (r/homegym)
