I've taken a RitFit hack squat rack attachment, mounted it to the wall. I then took a cheap viking press landmine attachment, took it a part, bolted the handles to the hack squat machine. It works great!! It has a weight capacity of 300+ pounds. I also use this for leverage squats and calf raises. Dollar for dollar, this a very cost effective piece of a equipment for my gym. It folds down when not in use. Awesome!!

I made my own with a landmine, barbell, the Bells of steel 30 D Handle bar and some pipes/bolts from home depot as handles. The 30 D Handle is 5/8th inch holes so a standard size to make. You could also probably just use 5/8th inch hole plate holders, I just wanted the smaller grip of 1.25 inch pipe when i made this. I found a plastic pipe and some duct tape inside of the pipe to help make the bolt fit in there firmly and quietly. Probably need 1 more washer to protect the 30 D bar and make it work. But all in took multiple things I had, build some handles at home depot and ended up with a fun and useful DIY viking press for fairly cheap all things considered. handles are nice for rows too. With the multiple width options gives a ton of versatility as well.

This set up is a pain to put together and slightly hazardous but it gets the job done.
