Viking Press Landmine Handle Attachment for 2in Olympic Barbell

In this review the Viking Press Landmine Handle Attachment is assessed as a practical add-on for home gym owners who want to expand barbell exercise options without buying a whole machine. The single biggest reason to consider it is simple: it converts any standard 2in Olympic bar into a stable landmine-style pivot with a comfortable two-handle setup, letting lifters add presses, rows and rotational work with minimal space and cost. The reviewer found it solidly built and easy to combine with existing bars, making it a worthwhile purchase for those looking to diversify shoulder, back and core work.

Key Features

• Compatible with 2in barbell: Allows use with any standard 2in Olympic bar so you can pair it with the barbells you already own.
• Solid steel construction: Made from 12GA steel to provide a strong, durable pivot that supports routine lifting up to the stated capacity.
• Baking varnish finish: The protective coating reduces scratches and scuffs so the attachment looks and performs well over time.
• Comfortable grips: 1.2in diameter handles and three hand positions make pressing and rowing movements more ergonomic and secure.
• Compact dimensions: At 33in total length and 21in between handles it offers plenty of headspace for lying presses while remaining suitable for small home gyms.
• Versatile exercise options: Easily combines with a barbell for deadlifts, squats, t-bar rows and overhead presses to broaden workout variety.

Who It's For

The attachment is best for home gym owners, strength enthusiasts and trainers who already own a 2in Olympic bar and want to add landmine-style pressing and rowing without dedicating floor space to a specialized machine. Its durable 12GA steel and ergonomic grips suit users focused on shoulder, triceps and back development who need a compact, affordable option.

Those who should look elsewhere include lifters who require higher rated commercial equipment for very heavy loading beyond the stated capacity, or users who prefer integrated gym rigs with fixed storage and no separate attachments. If you need a complete multi-station system, this single-purpose handle will be insufficient.
