Is doing the viking press a good way to build up your overhead press.

Yes, but don't rely on it soley. Work it in every now and then.

It's a fun event if you're training for a strongman competition, but it doesn't really do anything BETTER than a standard barbell overhead press. It will up your ego a bit. I've done 400lbs plus on a Viking Press on a bad day. Depending on the apparatus, it can really be easy to move some weight.
