Tibialis Raise

The tibialis raise targets the tibialis anterior — the muscle on the front of the shin — which balances calf development and prevents shin splints. Lean your back against a wall, place your feet out in front, and lift your toes toward your shins.

How to Perform

1

Lean your back against a wall with your feet about 12 inches in front of you.

2

Lift your toes and forefeet as high as possible toward your shins.

3

Squeeze the tibialis anterior at the top for a full second.

4

Lower your toes slowly back toward the floor — do not just drop them.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Standing too close to the wall, reducing the range of motion.

Dropping the toes quickly instead of controlling the eccentric.

Not doing enough reps — the tibialis needs high volume, aim for 20-30 reps per set.
