The Tib Bar™ is a high-quality piece of equipment designed to weight-load your tibialis anterior muscle on the front of your shin. A strong tibialis muscle is the first line of defence for knee, ankle and shin pain, including shin splints. This device exposes your tibialis and ankle to full plantar flexion (pointed toes) to increase ankle strength and range of motion - making you more athletic. This full ankle flexion requires weight-loading and is not available through simple bodyweight tibialis raises.
An Olympic Weight Collar is included with all purchases. Weight plates are not included unless stated.
