Thats a great present. I wish my family was that supportive. They think I am ruining my body by lifting hard all the time. Some people just don't understand.

are you supposed to use your legs with the viking press?

From what I understand...you can dip and drive with your legs but you can't "Catch" and dip your knees on the lockout...

Legs must be locked out before elbows...

so that contraption mimics the push/military press, so to speak? is this one of the events that is usually at competitions?
