Plate Loaded Tibia Dorsi-Flexion

The anterior tibialis is often overlooked, yet it's crucial for peak performance and durability. Our Hammer Strength Tibia Dorsi-Flexion machine zeroes in on this vital muscle, strengthening the muscles responsible for ankle dorsiflexion.

Our versatile design also supports inversion and eversion exercises, enhancing total ankle and foot strength. Whether catering to sprinters seeking more explosive ground contact, athletes rehabbing from shin splints, or those aiming for bulletproof lower legs, this machine helps ensure there are no weak links in the chain.

Dimensions (L x W x H): 16 x 34 x 14 in (41 x 86 x 36 cm)

More Than Just Dorsiflexion

Most athletes will train with their foot straight, targeting the tibialis through dorsiflexion. However, the machine's design goes beyond this—it allows for angling the foot inward or outward to perform inversion and eversion exercises. This helps to develop a more resilient, fully developed lower leg and ankle complex, crucial for stability, injury prevention, and overall performance.

Balanced Strength & Seamless Integration

The Tibia Dorsi-Flexion machine is designed to compliment our Seated Calf Raise and can be positioned right behind it, allowing you to train both the front and back of the lower leg in one efficient setup. Balanced strength starts here.

FAQ

The tibialis anterior plays a crucial role in deceleration, stability, and overall lower-leg durability. Strengthening it can help reduce the risk of shin splints, improve ankle mobility, and enhance explosive movements like sprinting and jumping.
Yes. While seated training is ideal for isolating the tibialis, athletes can also use this machine while standing to incorporate more functional, sport-specific movement patterns. Standing dorsiflexion better mimics how the tibialis works in dynamic situations, making it a great option for performance training.
The tibialis is a small but powerful muscle, and light loads go a long way. Most users find that 5s and 10s are more than enough to fatigue the muscle and reap the benefits without unnecessary strain.
Lower-leg strength workouts aren’t just about moving up and down—it’s about control in every direction. The ability to angle the foot inward or outward allows athletes to target the smaller stabilizing muscles around the ankle, improving balance, mobility, and injury resilience.
