Jump Higher Tip #6

Tip #6: Strengthen the Tibialis Anterior. 

Here's one many athletes have used with great results. This muscle is located on the shin & commonly referred to as the Dorsi-Flexors. Build these & you will add inches to your jump, eliminate shin splints, and improve take-off quickness. The Dorsi-Flexors stabilize the lower leg allowing maximum take-off force. You won't target this group using the Proprioceptor plugs. The reason this works is because each muscle group has a counter-balancing group of muscles. You can only be as strong as the opposing muscles, so hundreds of weighted calf raises will soon plateau if you don't develop these stabilizers. One way to start working them, is try walking around on your heels without letting the ball of your foot touch. Do this until you feel a good burn. Ultimately you're going to have to take better measures! In our complete jump higher program "bionic jumping power " I'll show you much better ways to develop your shins. The pros use a special devise called DARD that will allow you to build maximum strength in the shins.
