At catts gym in orrell (which a few on here have trained at) they have a contraption I call the Viking press, but it's got a straight bar. Watching a few strongman videos all seem to be side handled so you don't need to arch to get your head out the way. Is the catts one really just a smith machine with an arcing plane of motion Grin

As long as it pivots on a point at least 1m away from the lifter then id be comfortable calling it a viking press.

There have been Viking press set-ups with a bar across, but it's not the norm.
