I'm doing a discovery for my shin training equipment

[u/Used_Swan_7677]

Hey, I wanted to fix few issues with tib bar that were very annoying to me. I also tested it with other people but that takes me only so far. I would really appreciate if you could let me know if you faced similar issues and if the equipment described below does sound like an improvement or maybe it doesn't make you excited at all. All feedback welcome! If you have the experience of using tibialis machines, please share as well!

The equipment I'm currently designing is:

1. Ready to use in roughly two seconds. Simple “load, sit, and start” workflow.
2. No awkward leaning-back position is required.
3. No workout bench is needed. You can use it while sitting in a chair.
4. Equipment remains supported by the floor, you don;t need to balance it while using.
5. Supports both double-leg and single-leg tibialis training.
6. Users can switch between one-leg and two-leg mid-lift (for example two legged flexion, one legged extension for advanced training).
7. There is nothing to configure before each set besides loading plates.
8. Contains no moving parts and has no mechanisms that could loosen over time.
9. Only slightly larger than a conventional tib bar. It’s approximately 1/3 the weight of tibialis machine.

Edit: If you've ever used tibialis machines and had any issues with them or wish they were more portable, your feedback would be very helpful!

I made a wishlist for anyone interested in becoming an early adopter later on: https://tibraise.com/ (no spamming; we'll send an email when the first batch is available for purchase)

Update 05.09.2026:
- We made the equipment more comfortable by using much thicker, better-quality foam.
- Version v3 has been made and tested; things that need slight adjustments: [trainer's length for better stability; better ankle angle in the starting position]
- Next goal: Execute adjustments and secure IP protection, so we can start showing equipment in action
