Boosting Ankle Mobility with Tib Bar Raises: A Personal Strategy for Stronger Workouts

How I'm Fixing My 💩 Ankle Mobility

Since that fateful day in high school when I twisted my ankle, my right ankle has never been the same. It's always been a bit wonky, throwing a wrench in my running routine and making leg days a nightmare.

Ankle Mobility Assessments to the Rescue

After trying a few ankle mobility assessments, it became painfully clear: my right calf is tight as a drum and my tibialis muscle is WEAK AF. So much for my dreams of becoming the next Usain Bolt, right?

Addressing Mobility Issues Head-On

But I'm not one to give up easily. Instead, I've decided to face these mobility issues head-on. I've added one or two sets of calf raises to my routine, along with Tib Bar raises. I perform these exercises BEFORE my workouts because I'm not just aiming for better mobility - I want to bulk up and get stronger too.

The Power of Persistence

After some time sticking with this routine, I'm starting to notice the difference. My ankle mobility is improving and my workouts are getting easier. Trust me, this stuff works!

So if you're struggling with similar issues, why not give it a shot? Add these exercises to your warm-up and see your ankle mobility improve. You might be surprised at the difference a few targeted exercises can make.

And if you're wondering how to supercharge your routine with calf raises and Tib Raises, but you don't have a Tib Bar, don't sweat it. Check out our Shop. We ship our top-quality Tib Bars across Europe. Get yours and start working on those ankle gains!
