How To - Tib Raises

Tibialis raises are all the rage right now with good reason. We want to have strength in the front of our shins. We don't, we don't want to neglect it. Um, really it's about building ankle mobility here. Not just focusing on the tibialis anterior, but the ankle to set up for this. You're like, wait, how's his ankle moving?

You actually want to put, if you can come in close here. You actually want to put your foot so the heels on the back and the ball the foot is on the front So I'm not putting my heel in there. It's on top of it. Then I'm placing that over the top of my foot and strapping in from here Keeping this leg straight is going to amplify the intensity of this exercise.

Obviously you're building strength in the hip flexor and quad as well. Then taking it through full. This is called dorsiflexion plantar flexion, getting a nice point. So my calves are engaged, dorsiflexing as much as possible. If you want to assist it a little bit, I've got to pull on my toe, let go, release all the way down to a point, repeat, do the same thing on either side.

Make sure that you're working with the weak side first. And then doing the strong side so you can keep things nice and equal.
