Titan FitnessPlate-Loaded Tibia Dorsi Calf Machine, Rated 200 LB, Fits Olympic-Sized Change Plates, Flexion Lower Body Training Calf Raise Machine, Leg Day Essential Tibia Isolation

Titan is known for making great products and this is no exception. They shipped it within hours it seems of when I ordered it from Amazon. The packaging on the product definitely worked in the shipping process. The box had some serious scuff marks and a couple of corners that looked a little weary. So, I took pictures of how it arrived expecting the worst. They packed it so well that nothing moved and the unit came out of the box ready to use. I had a broken ankle several years ago and it has always bothered me even doing the prescribed PT exercises. I used a band one it and noticed when it worked it helped some but most of the time my ankle would slip to right or left or the band would snap off my foot. and I would actually injury it worse and it take weeks for it to recover from this. This machine puts a nice even amount of stress to work the muscles around the ankle and it helps build it up slowly. I have tried a couple of variations of this type of machine and they were just not that stable and able control. This machine takes all of instability out of the exercises and makes it more controlled and deliberate. So far using this machine has helped with the ankle pain, and makes walking upstairs a little more easier. So, if you have weak ankles/shins or walk on trails that go uphills and down hills and have pain after that this machine will help with that.

The product arrived assembled! You can do unilateral or bilateral strengthening of the tib anterior with this machine. Nicely padded machine that is comfortable on the feet and various foot sizes (my whole family can use it.) The only complaint I have is the bottom is not quite level so there’s a little wobble with quicker movements. Does not bother me enough to remove a star. It helps to use it on rubber flooring. Fits plenty of plates on each side. My 25 pound Olympic plates fit without issue. I definitely feel the burn using this machine. Paid 200 dollars which I thought was fair. I have used it 2 times per week for the past couple months and I find it a valuable strengthening tool for a muscle that is often neglected.

I sprain my ankles pretty easily due to some bad sprains I had as a teenager playing basketball. This little machine really helps get some blood flow to the region after a sprain and helps to strengthen those little muscles that help prevent the next strain, especially if you turn your feet to different angles when you use it.

Purchased this for my husband for our home gym. It is extremely well made. He absolutely loves it. Highly recommend if you are thinking about it.

Wow! Found this old school tibia machine. So effective in lower leg muscular strength & development. My legs scream, just like the old days. And, The price is worth the results. I rep out sets throughout the day. I’m working with 130lbs total. I believe that I’ve worked more weight and I’m confident that I’ll get where I want to be. I recommend this machine although it may seem not practical, yet it is in many ways.

Pros: Well-made, smooth operationally, priced competitively, heavy. My 25s fit.Cons: Made in China. Range of motion not what I expected, but not a deal breaker. I didn't expect the foot plate to move when you lift up against the pad. This is different than putting your heals on a block and raising (dorsiflexion) your feet as your heels stay in place and do not move, but with the Titan machine your heals swing down as you raise your feet. You can take this machine through its range of motion by pushing down with your heels.

This thing is a tank, as most home workout equipment is. Having some other Titan equipment in the past that didn’t work for me due to my height (6’5”) or just wasn’t the best quality I was apprehensive at first to give this a shot, but I’m glad I did. It works well, is well built, and is one of the only pieces of equipment that actually targets this muscle. Glad I bought it and if you’re on the fence based on Titan’s reputation as the budget provider I’d assure you that this is their best product, in my opinion.

It's very well built and it came as advertised
