PROGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Tib bar raise

These steps are written specifically for the Tib bar raise. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Tib bar raise. Set the lever securely and shorten it if you cannot control both directions.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Keep the heels down and pull all the toes and forefeet up toward the shins together.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Pause at the top, then lower the feet slowly until they nearly touch the floor. Lower slowly to the floor.

Tib bar raise is a progression of Tibialis Raise. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The tibialis anterior shortens as the foot dorsiflexes. Distance from the wall provides a clean, equipment-free loading dial.
