Coach's Tips

Push heavy weights with this machine to work your delts and upper body.

1. Stand in front of the Viking press machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Adjust the height so that the handles are at shoulder level, and bend your elbows to grab the handles.

1. Engage your core and push the handle up and forward strongly.

2. Push until your arms are almost fully extended, then slowly lower back to the starting position.

3. Keep your upper body from leaning back and repeat.

Exhale when pushing up, and inhale when lowering down.

1. If you increase the weight excessively, it puts a strain on your back and shoulders, so increase it gradually.

2. Keep your hips and abdomen engaged to prevent your back from arching.
