Very good quality

This thing was easy to put together so that’s a huge plus. It works great and does the job that I need it to do. I accidentally screwed the foam roller pieces on the wrong side of the bar and it’s just fine, but if you’re ODC that might trip you real hard.

As a college student dedicated to maintaining an active lifestyle, I recently discovered the Tib Bar, and it has become an essential part of my fitness routine. This versatile piece of equipment is designed to strengthen the calves, shins, and ankles, providing an effective way to target and develop often-overlooked lower leg muscles. I can confidently say that the Tib Bar is a must-have tool for anyone looking to take their leg training to the next level.One of the standout features of the Tib Bar is its compatibility with both 1" and 2" weight plates. This allows for customizable resistance, catering to my fitness level and goals. The sturdy construction ensures stability and safety, even during intense workouts. With the Tib Bar, I can confidently load up the weight plates and challenge myself to progressively increase the resistance for continuous growth and strength development.Using the Tib Bar has yielded noticeable results in my lower leg strength and stability. The targeted focus on the tibialis anterior muscles, often neglected in traditional leg exercises, has significantly improved my calf strength and ankle stability. Whether I'm performing calf raises or working on my knees-over-toes technique, the Tib Bar provides the necessary support and proper alignment to enhance my overall lower leg strength.In addition to its effectiveness, the compact size of the Tib Bar is perfect for my college lifestyle. It doesn't take up much space in my dorm room or apartment, and it's easy to set up and store away when not in use. The simplicity of the design allows me to seamlessly incorporate the Tib Bar into my workouts, whether I'm following a structured program or adding it as a supplementary exercise to my existing routine.The Tib Bar is an invaluable tool for strengthening the calves, shins, and ankles. Its compatibility with Olympic weight plates, targeted focus, and compact design make it a standout piece of equipment for college students like myself. If you're looking to enhance your lower leg strength and stability, I highly recommend investing in the Tib Bar.

It's nice to have a way to exercise the "shin" muscles without running and getting shin splints.

I was skeptical that this would be a good way to target my anterior tibialis! I started with just 10 pounds to see what I thought… by my 10th rep my tibialis anterior was on FIRE! It’s working very well! I highly recommend this product!

UPDATE: After writing my 3 star review I've started using my new Tib bar... do NOT buy this bar, it doesn't hit your tibs as well as other bars for the reason I've sited below; you're better off using zero equipment against a wall than this bar.Original Review: I've been using this bar since March when I purchased it. It's been solid and does do the job, however, the weights are really too close to your feet. So if you put a plate bigger than a 5LB plate on first you are forced to smash your feet by the plate itself. There just isn't enough distance between the back of the plate and your foot. This causes excess rubbing onto the padding and has caused my pads to start to tear. Also while it's not having the pads on your heels, that's completely un-necessary. You only need pads at the top for the top of your feet not for your heels to rest on.The bar did come well packaged, however, I do not recommend this product for purchase. Buy a different bar that has the proper clearance so when your Tibs get stronger and you can start to do the 25 or 45 pound weights you won't have issues. I even had an issue with 10 LB plates...

Screws are low quality. Some of them get striped when installing.
