Overview
Excel Viking Press - Built for Serious Strength
The Muscle D Fitness Excel Viking Press is engineered for athletes and gym operators who demand commercial-grade performance without compromise. Whether you're building a world-class facility or a dedicated home gym, this machine delivers the smooth, powerful pressing experience that serious lifters expect.
Built to Last. Built to Perform.
Constructed from heavy-duty 11-gauge steel, the Excel Viking Press is designed to withstand the rigors of high-volume training environments. Industrial-grade bearings ensure silky-smooth movement on every rep, eliminating friction so you can focus entirely on the lift.
Key Features

- Industrial Bearings — Precision-engineered for fluid, consistent movement throughout the full range of motion
- Counter-Balanced Design — Reduces the effective starting weight so athletes of all levels can train safely and progressively
- Iso-Lateral Arms — Each arm moves independently to correct muscular imbalances and promote symmetrical strength development
- Pop Pin Adjustable Knurled Handles — Quickly switch between overhand, parallel, and underhand grip positions to target muscles from multiple angles
- Pop Pin Height Adjustment — Fast, tool-free setup to accommodate users of different heights and training styles
- Loadable to 600 lbs — Supports elite-level loading for the strongest athletes in any facility
Why Train on a Viking Press?
The Viking Press is one of the most versatile and effective upper-body pressing tools available. Here's why athletes and coaches love it:
- Full Upper-Body Strength Development — Targets the shoulders, triceps, upper chest, and traps in a single compound movement
- Functional Pressing Patterns — Mimics real-world pushing mechanics, making it ideal for athletes in football, wrestling, and combat sports
- Reduced Joint Stress — The guided arc and multiple grip options allow for a more natural pressing path, reducing strain on the shoulders and wrists compared to barbell pressing
- Unilateral Training Benefits — Iso-lateral arms allow each side to work independently, helping identify and correct strength imbalances
- Grip Versatility for Targeted Muscle Activation — Overhand grip emphasizes the anterior deltoid; parallel grip shifts focus to the upper chest and triceps; underhand grip recruits the upper pecs and front delts from a unique angle
- Scalable for All Levels — The counter-balanced starting weight makes it accessible for beginners, while the 600 lb load capacity challenges elite lifters
- Safe for High-Volume Training — The machine's guided movement pattern reduces the risk of injury during fatigue, making it ideal for drop sets, high-rep work, and team training environments
The Muscle D Difference
Every Muscle D Fitness machine is engineered with one goal in mind: to help athletes train harder, recover smarter, and perform better. The Excel Viking Press is no exception — it's the kind of equipment that earns its place on the floor and keeps delivering, rep after rep, year after year.
