A normal protocol to follow until you can visit a medical professional is the RICE method. I go on and on about all the reasons why you should train your tibialis anteriorin a separate article, but this question asks more specifically about the benefits of using a tib bar. So, briefly…

Less patella tendonitis– Developing the muscles around the knee, including the TA, is one of the best things you can do to help with patella tendinopathy.The eccentric strap allows you to assist yourself through the really difficult reps so you can get maximal eccentric stimulus.

I’m usually happy to pay a little extra for name brands, but this price point is simply ridiculous!

This is one of the main reasons anterior tib machines are superior to tib bars: they’re highly rigid and heavy duty, producing better muscle stimulus. All of the products I’ll be discussing in this article are made from heavy duty 11 or 12 gauge steel and are of high quality. Again, I could list out virtually every sport or physical pursuit here and chances are there would be a pretty good reason to train your shins! But you get the picture. Super great exercise for stretching and strengthening and I’d recommend getting at least a few sets of these in each week to hit those tib posterior muscles. 10.

You can also use a dumbbell to perform the same movement as the kettlebell raise which are both doing the same thing as a tib bar. When you dorsiflex your ankle (i.e. bring your toes towards your knee), this movement eccentrically loads the tibialis anterior (meaty part on the front of your shin).

Using an anterior tib machine allows you to effectively isolate the tibialis anterior using any load you like to get size and strength gains without doing hundreds of reps. Appropriately sized foot pad– This is something that I found really problematic with the Hammer Strength Tibia Dorsi Flexion machine and is one of the reasons I no longer include it in this article… When the foot pad is too narrow, you’re forced to keep your toes together to use the product. This reduces comfort and narrows the range of stimulus you gain from positioning your toes at unique angles. Ultimately, a Tib Bar is a great tool to help strengthen the tibialis anterior. We think you really can’t go wrong with either the HGG Performance Original Tib Bar or the Isotib Bar. I’m currently doing a mixture of standard tib curls as well as circular rotations (discussed below) using my Solo Tib Bar.
