Viking Press Landmine Handle

Very well built except for the plastic knob on the thumb screw. Falls into a good price category.

Great for viking press. My only complaint is that you are limited in hand position so if it doesnt fit you cant change it, but for the price thats to expected

I have low ceilings so landmine Viking presses take over for OHP when I’m too lazy to set something up outside of the basement. I really liked the thick axle-bar style grip as well It looks like there have been a few versions of this, and mine is the one with the capped end. The only problem I had was that there were a couple of sharp burrs or defects in either the powder coating or the handle itself. I sanded the big ones down, but it was still a pain (literally) when I first got it. If the inside of the sleeve had some kind of UMHW liner, so that it didn’t scrape the barbell sleeve, it would have been even better.

Its a solid piece that gets the job done. I wish it screwed on a little tighter and stronger, but thats about it.

Very simple handle attachment. I use it for landmine viking presses. I think that is likely how they got the name for it. It works well and is fairly comfortable to use. I could see some places for improvement but it is fine for what it is. If you use a landmine, you should own this or something comparable to this.

I had this and got rid of it almost immediately. For one, landmine viking press just ain’t my bag, but it’s also pretty much a one trick pony, so there’s that. I also didn’t think the build quality was great and the screw thing that attaches to the barbell was not good at all. It was edgy, so it would scratch the barbell attached to it. And it would stay tight, which is kind of a big deal if you’re going to be doing explosive movements. Hard pass people, hard pass.

I may be of the minority opinion that believes that this piece is actually amazing. I don't have low ceilings nor do I gravitate towards strongman type of movements but to mix things up and to have options in accessory movements, I for sure use this attachment. The only thing that I get out of this attachment is just having the option of it.

Judging by the reviews to date, this attachment seems to be very polarizing. I plead "guilty" to the side that likes it. It should be noted that some of the complaints (e.g. that the end is not capped) does not apply to the version I have. I bought my thick-handled version years ago, and thought it was version 1 Titan - which can be a dangerous thing! - but perhaps it was a later version. In any case, in my version the end is capped and the barbell rests securely inside the attachment. There is a tightening screw, but I find it to be useless, and don't bother with it. I haven't noticed any decrease in performance. Now, there was a time when I didn't like the attachment as much as I do today. I had difficulty setting it up to do "viking presses" with it. What made the difference is the advent of rack-mounted landmine attachment. I have one set up at the right height for viking presses, and use a spare j-cup on the other side to rack/un-rack. Thus having a dedicated viking press setup has made using the attachment much more inviting, and useful. As for the attachment itself, its build quality is tough and can take a beating, but it doesn't have the fine touches of, say, BWTG's excellent powder-coated version - which Titan's version suspiciously resembles (but that's a topic for another time!). The thing weighs a hefty 17 lbs and is constructed of 11-gauge steel tubings (if you trust Titan's specs). Value-wise, I recall paying 50-something (plus free shipping) for mine, but it seems inflation has reared its ugly head here. Still, Titan always seem to run sales like the proverbial mattress store, and this item remains competitive. How well it performs depends, in my view, on how good one's set up is. In the past, I would have given it lower ratings, but now the all-important "strength curve" seems dialed in, and the thick handles feel great against my mid-sized hands.

Absolutely hate this thing, doesn't feel like a Viking press at all, grips aren't wide enough, feels cheap

I bought this back during college to do neutral grip pressing when I first got into strongman. So it was very cheap when I got it. Probably the first new piece of equipment I ever bought. Is is great? Not really. But it gets the job done. I wish the end was capped to that it would just sit on the end of the barbell. Instead, it has a twist lock design, but that either scratches the collar head, or slides no matter how much you tighten it. Overall, still a useful tool, but I am sure there are much better ones out there.
