I was questioning the durability of this one but your video helped clarify that. I just bought it through your link so hopefully that helps you out. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for your support! It really is a great product. The biggest issue with exercises I have is when there is a considerable set up time. This is ridiculously simple to set up and use in seconds.
The Foam should be on the top not the bottom. UPDATE: Explanation: th-cam.com/video/liv5_xnQsQo/w-d-xo.html I also flipped the Tib Bar over so the weights are not moving anymore and the tension is constant. I was also able to switch the foams on mine to make it more comfortable. Now it is perfect, thanks for the tip!
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice/comment haha. I realized after posting that I didn't comment about why. I do this intentionally because it provides more resistance at the bottom range of motion. Used traditionally, the resistance is less at the bottom and I also get more stretch this way
@@MovementProjectPT Thanks again for the awesome review! I just noticed that you were using it upside down as well, and find that rather interesting. There's really no reason why it couldn't be used both ways. The reason that we use it with the foam on top is that past a certain point, the weights tend to lean toward your knees, thus losing any resistance at that point. Perhaps it's a similar result in the other direction?
Tim, thank you so much for this review! I think I really need this product. My right anterior tibialis feels weak and I've been trying to strengthen it for months using resistance bands with little progress. When I run, my left tib feels strong and like it's absorbing the shock while my right tib feels like it's taking a beating with each step. After a run, my right ankle hurts while the left feels perfectly fine. I will definitely be picking one of these up and I will follow your tip about using it upside down for better performance. What bugs me though is how this imbalance happened. How does someone's tib get so weak on one side while the opposite side is healthy and strong?
Be sure to check out my new video showing a similar product for half the cost: th-cam.com/video/Y8sUoQ5GHg0/w-d-xo.html As for your Right ankle, there are many possible inputs to this problem. Do you have a history of any injuries on the right side? Ankle, Knee, Hip, Back? They all can play a role. I injured my right ankle and right knee in the past. I have to constantly work on my right side to help it stay even close to my left. Also, very few people are equal in their strength from left to right. Our hips are meant to be our powerhouse. Weakness in the hips will have a trickle down effect to the ankle. It all comes down to your gait. How you strike the ground, load, and push off will dictate muscle activity. Record yourself running from behind and side and check it out!
Thanks for the great review! I wonder if going more slow and focus on time under tension, if it will help with hypertrophy, got very long legs and tibia has been a lagging compartment, overly developed quads and hamstrings but tibia has been lagging, hopefully this tool will help, cant wait to recieve mine!!!
Why is the padding on the bottom when you use it? On their website they have the padding at the top in their videos. I want to make sure I am using it right
Hi Tim, what do you think of the solo tib bar? Dont you think that it is a better option sinxe youre working each leg separately? Looking forward to you opinion!
I just got one a few months ago and love it. Much better for rehab and being able to work on muscle asymmetry. I'll do ankle circles with a light weight and its a fantastic warm up. Thanks for the comment!
@@MovementProjectPT I'm considering getting it but not sure if I should instead get the double tib bar. Any advantages you seen on using the double TB rather than the solo TB?

thanks for your brief, to the point and comprehensive review
My pleasure! Glad you liked it.
Thorough review! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the comment!

Thank you for that single leg tib work tip! I needed that.
You bet! Get after it!
You are using the Tib bar wrong. The padded part goes in top if your foot. That's why there's foam lol...to put less pressure

@@MovementProjectPT oh ok I’ll try it like that to see if I like it more that way
@@MovementProjectPT in that case would it be better if padded on both bars?
@@robweinberg9396 Perhaps! They just added a clamp to their offering so that solves 1 problem!

@@MovementProjectPT thanks- waiting for mine to arrive. would prefer to use it barefoot
🔥🔥🔥 Awesome review!! Thank you!

@@thetibbarguy I explain why I use it “upside down” In this video. I love it either way!

@@MovementProjectPT I will check out that video and thank you for all the advice.
Can it be used to do leg extensions?
Can you use it to pump up your abs? (Secure your legs so they don't lift up)
So you put the padding on the bars that touch the soles of your shoes? Am I missing something here?

Absolutely! I how simple it is to use. Since it is so under trained, I have no doubt that you will experience newbie gains in the tib anterior!
Did you use that upside down?
Yep, This was why:
th-cam.com/video/liv5_xnQsQo/w-d-xo.html
Miss informed on price. Amazon $39-$59
The videos two years old to the prices have come down
The padded portion should be on top of your feet not on the bottom

@@Hugo97HDyou could load more weight in the double but focus more on control with single. I’d go single. Click the link in my video to pick one up!
@@MovementProjectPT will do, thanks 🙏
Would this help treat shin splints?
Definitely a very important part of the recovery process.
Have you tried them for lying hamstring curls? They may be less wobbly the monkey feet which is what I'm wondering.
I have not. Not sure how that set up would work
$25 amazon
Can you use this to work hamstring curl and hip flexors
Probably not safely. It would slip off your feet
@@MovementProjectPT what do you think about the monkey feet from animal fitness
@@ladyinred9656 I reviewed it in this video:
th-cam.com/video/kVf8SmINorw/w-d-xo.html
What’s the name of this thing? I can’t find it on Amazon
Only available through their store. Link is in the video description
Thanks!
Tibialis bar.
