Weighted Plate Tibialis Anterior Curl
The seated shin raise against a plate on a padded foot attachment hooked over the tops of the feet.
How to do it
Setup
Seated at a bench's end, legs straight past it, the plate-loaded pad over the feet.
Steps
- Flex the ankles and bring the plate up toward the knees.
- Pause with the toes pulled back as far as they go.
- Lower the plate on a slow count.
Common mistakes
Pad sitting on the toes: move it back onto the instep. Swinging the plate up: lift and lower it smoothly. Legs lifting off the bench: keep the backs of the knees down.
Breathing
Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
