Q: How do I use a Tib bar?
A: The Tib Bar is best used by using a bench or any other surface where you can fully extend your legs and have your feet over the edge.

It is important to keep your knee straight and your foot pointed forward to properly target the tibialis muscles.

Start by lowering the weight to create a loaded stretched position then flex your foot upwards for a full contraction of the tib muscle.

Before using a Tibialis muscle bar, it's crucial to speak with a physical therapist if you have any past ankle or lower leg problems.

Q: Who invented the tib bar?
A: Bob Gajda, a renowned figure in the world of bodybuilding, was the original creator of the Tib Bar, which was first introduced as the DARD (Dynamic Axial Resistance Device) in the 1960s. Decades before tibialis training became widely accepted, Gajda pioneered the importance of the anterior tibialis muscle, developing the first tib bar to strengthen this overlooked muscle. The Tib Bar was originally created to combat issues such as injuries involving knees, shins, ankles and feet.
Q: What is the Tibialis (Tib) muscle?
The Tibialis, “tib”, anterior (front) tibialis or tibia is the front shin bone muscle. It is the first line of defence for knees, shins, ankles and feet. The tibialis is the first muscle engaged when walking, running, decelerating and jumping.
Q: How do I use a Nordic Bench
A: When performing Nordic hamstring curls, the Nordic Bench is utilized to hold the ankles in a steady position while kneeling on the bench. Ensure the ankles are secured via the adjustable lock, with your feet against the weight plate holder. Hamstring curls are performed by tensing your core and slowly leaning forward ('falling') from the knee. As you begin leaning forward, contract your hamstrings as you slowly descend towards the floor. An anchor point such as a pull-up bar can be used to attach a resistance band to assist when first performing the exercise.
