DIY Knees Over Toes Guy Tib Bar - How to Make Tibialis Bar and Fix Shin Splints

[@ThePetieProject]

Affordable gear I make and sell for the ATG Program by kneesovertoesguy can be found at www.thetibfactory.com Other DIY videos also available on my channel Ben Patrick (The Kneesovertoesguy) and ATG have been a huge inspiration for my training over the past year. I hope this video helps give back to the ATG community and give people an option for tibialis training that is cheaper and more readily available than the original tib bar. I’m using many of Ben’s movements and training modalities to eliminate knee pain and make my way back to windmill dunking in my 30’s. I’m documenting the process along the way and you can watch it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5TTaaBqd6ybatU Subscribe to The Petie Project for new videos every Week.

[@JayKershner]

Nice job with the instructions and video... I made this one weekend. I found a few discrepancies in wooden dowel lengths and the need for wider pipe (1.5") to hold the weights, as all our weight plates have 2 in hole. Might be b/c the right angle joints I used were longer and fit about 1" of pipe inside them. TiB Bar PARTS LIST - so you can go to store with an easy list of what to buy (4) 6.5” @ ¾” pvc (2) 2.5” @ ¾” pvc (3) 2” @ ¾” pvc total 37” of ¾” pvc - I just bought an 8' piece and use the rest as pipe to do pass throughs (4) ¾” 90’ elbows (3) ¾” PVC T’s 40” Dowel rod 2 x17” + 1x6” - might have to have more or less dowel depending on your fittings (12’) ¾” pipe insulation cut into 2 x 5 1/4” (1) Hitch Pin 3” @ ¼” ¾” to 1 1/2” bushing 1 ½” coupling 12” 1 ½” pvc

[@ThePetieProject]

Thanks for the parts list! You are correct on the pipe size. I mistakenly say 1-1/4" a few time in the video but it's 1-1/2". Glad you were able to make one!

@Brady Janssen 😂. 12-13 depending on the shoe but I also have wide feet so it’s a struggle even getting into like the bike pedal loops. I have the ever slightest idea of what these giants in the NBA have to deal with in everyday life 😆

[@poofykins]

@@sneakergearz also if you have bigger feet...make the side pieces a little longer maybe 3" cuz I made this and it works great but it's a little small with shoes on (Size 14)

[@ahrengroesch8774]

We made this today. It was even easier and cheaper than the slant board at about $30. We had to cut the small sections slightly smaller for the geometry to work with the parts we got. And we went with 1.5 inch PVC for the plate holder, and it's just right. I'm amazed how well the device does its job. It's perfect. Thank you for posting this. And for anyone that doesn't have the tools, he is selling it at a phenomenal price for the value.

Glad the build went well! Thanks for the support!

[@aidanpotts7157]

You're a legend dude! I'm going to go out and make this now - I just got started with Ben Patrick and was wanting to buy the tib bar but its far too expensive for me - this is an amazing alternative!

[@ThePetieProject]

Awesome, glad I could help!

[@ryanmaravilla1338]

I’m leaving this comment because I want to give a positive review and to recommend Petie’s products, specifically the Slant Board. The slant board from the Tib Factory is my favorite of all my slant boards, wedges, and door stops. Meaning, I’ve bought several types from different places, in different sizes, and different materials (foam, metal, rubber, and wood). The Tib Factory’s slant board keeps it simple with a one-piece fully assembles design; the approach angle and overall width feels great for stretching and getting that deep squats; and the grip tape feels amazing and adds more feeling of stability to an already structurally-sound design. I wish I had never bought the other slants that I have, but at least I have a door-stop for every room in my house 😂

[@GetReal505]

Rather than drill holes in the 1 1/2" PVC, I bought a cheap pair of barbell collar clamps. One seems to do fine, and the plates don't wiggle. Really like your design.

[@ThePetieProject]

Nice! Thanks!

[@lecobra418]

I'll be doing it, I wanted a shin machine for a long time and it seems like the most affordable way to own one. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@raceswisher2049]

I made this the other week according to the parts list included in the comment by another viewer and it turned out great for the most part. Cost me about $50 total but I had to buy some expensive pieces like a drill bit that some people would already have in their toolbox. For pvc, dowel, and pin alone, it would only be about $25-$35. I ran into three problems when making this. First, my 2” pieces weren’t fitting into the tee far enough to be able to twist the foot rests bars around enough. I had to cut these down about .5-1” to make it all fit right. This might be because the tees available at my home depot hd different measurements. Second, the 17” rods were a little too long and I ended up cutting em down about 1” each. I did this by eye after attempting to fit it all together and recommend you also wait before you cut anything too short. I also cut my 6” dowel rod too short and couldn’t secure the 1-1/4” to the dowel with a screw. I bought pvc primer and cement and that wasn’t any tougher than cutting dowel rods and screwing the pvc in. Hopefully more secure if anything.

[@raceswisher2049]

Also, i bought the pipe insulation foam for padding but I don’t think it’s necessary unless you’re working out barefoot or repping HEAVY weight at which point you can head back to the store and get it at a later point.

[@ThePetieProject]

Glad it turned out great!

[@1974HondaCB350F]

Thanks for all of the help with DIY fitness stuff, Petie! In the past week I’ve made your slant board, Nordic bench, and tib blaster. I’m so psyched to put these things to use and get a healthier body back. I did do one thing differently on this project though. Instead of drilling the 1/4” holes for the plates, I just used a standard spring bar clamp to hold the place on the 1-1/2” PVC pipe. At first the clamp wouldn’t stay on because its inner diameter was just slightly to large. So I added a layer of Gorilla tape around the whole 1-1/2” pipe. Now the collar stays in place super secure 👍 Really happy with how that turned out. Anyways. Keep up what you’re doing man. I’ve enjoyed all of your videos, including the finance ones. I always get excited when I see you out another video out. Looking forward to the DIY Monkeyfoot!!! 🤙💪

Just finished mine! It went together easily. I did make a change where the weight holder is just the 3/4 in pvc. I did this since I’m not using Olympic weights. I also have a standard size bar clamp and it fits perfect. I can use it instead of using the pin. Thanks for posting this!

[@tomorrow456able]

@@hichemessamkaoui8292 everything is the same except the portion that holds the weight. The video use 3/4 pvc to connect the holder to the t-joint and then connects that to the large pvc converter. All I did was make the 3/4 in pvc about 8” long without the converter or large pvc. Be sure to dry fit everything. My right angles and t-joints were different than in the video so I had to change the length of some of the pieces.

[@CharHa-j6y]

How is it holding up? I don’t have Olympic plates either.

[@Loganreeder26]

to reinforce the joints, I recommend getting PVC adhesive and sandpaper. You scuff the inside of the joints and where the pipe enters the joint, then put the adhesive into the joint and put it together. However, you must be very quick as the adhesive will bind up extremely quickly

[@ThePetieProject]

Good idea!

[@andrewlake2953]

To add to this, you can dry set your joints and make sure everything is square, then mark a line with a sharpie across the joints, next take it apart add glue and easily line up everything with the marks you made...it can be tough to get everything square with the small glue drying time window.

@@bbetros Works like a charm👍 I was able to use 3/4” PVC for the whole thing since my plates have a 1” hole. Feels super sturdy after adding extra screws to each 90degree piece.

@@ThePetieProject thanks for the reply man, being from Canada i plan to build this myself. Is the reason you chose 3/4” for the sides simply because that’s what you had as scrap? I was thinking to build the entire thing using 1-1/2” PVC.

Yes, initially and also to keep the total cost of the build down. The fittings for the 1.5" can get pretty pricey, but it may also eliminate the need for the internal dowel for strength/rigidity if you built the entire thing out of 1.5" schedule 40 pvc.

Different size PVC for the shaft. The wooden dowel will need to run the full length of the shaft to provide support for the smaller and thinner PVC.

@@ThePetieProject You used 20+ screws?? I can only see like half of those in the video! Please reply soon as Im going to the local store any time now!

[@ThePetieProject]

@@chrisnicolaou3871 I used 14 on my original one and am using 22 in the production model. 14 is holding fine, just making sure the production runs are extra secure.

[@austinwilde1167]

It’s doesn’t look like you screwed the corner pieces together. What holds them together?

[@ThePetieProject]

They are held together with screws. You could always use pvc cement as well.

[@austinwilde1167]

@@ThePetieProject thank you! Ok if I were to use pvc cement how would you go about making sure the whole thing is level and lined up like you mentioned in the video?

[@ThePetieProject]

@@austinwilde1167 that's one of the reasons I like using screws instead of cement. If you find that something is off you can always adjust it. With the cement, make sure you are assembling on a flat level surface so that you can tell if things are even and square. Hope that helps!

This is great. What’s the turnaround/ delivery time for SE USA? Website says 5-8 days shipping, not sure if that includes labor

[@ThePetieProject]

Thanks! All Tib Blasters ship within one week of placing the order. I ship UPS ground from NC, so if you are in the southeast, shipping time should be 1 to 2 days once shipped! UPS ground is 1-5 days in the contiguous US depending on your proximity to NC.

[@2ndchancefitnessnutrition175]

Idk if someone asked this already. How about for standard plates? What sizes pvc would you use?

[@ThePetieProject]

3/4" pvc, but it has to be the thinner kind. Not schedule 40 for the standard shaft. Make sure to reinforce the thinner pvc shaft with a wooden dowel! Standard plate version is also available at www.thetibfactory.com if you need a reference or want to purchase one!

[@Dragoni00]

Great job! Very creative!

[@ThePetieProject]

Thank you!

[@ianonbass]

is it possible to list the measurements on the PVC pipes?

[@ThePetieProject]

Jay hooked us up with a list and a few comments from his build! Reposting his comment Jay Kershner 1 month ago Nice job with the instructions and video... I made this one weekend. I found a few discrepancies in wooden dowel lengths and the need for wider pipe (1.5") to hold the weights, as all our weight plates have 2 in hole. Might be b/c the right angle joints I used were longer and fit about 1" of pipe inside them. TiB Bar PARTS LIST - so you can go to store with an easy list of what to buy (4) 6.5” @ ¾” pvc (2) 2.5” @ ¾” pvc (3) 2” @ ¾” pvc total 37” of ¾” pvc - I just bought an 8' piece and use the rest as pipe to do pass throughs (4) ¾” 90’ elbows (3) ¾” PVC T’s 40” Dowel rod 2 x17” + 1x6” - might have to have more or less dowel depending on your fittings (12’) ¾” pipe insulation cut into 2 x 5 1/4” (1) Hitch Pin 3” @ ¼” ¾” to 1 1/2” bushing 1 ½” coupling 12” 1 ½” pvc

@@ThePetieProject awesome! Whats that last one? 12" 1 1/2" pvc?

[@biggdaps]

**HEY GUYS** I Did everything he said to do but the 17" sticks coming out after you put them in wont let you fit the other PVC pipes over them. SO, I had to make the 2.5 inch pieces on the sides 3.5 inches and it worked perfectly. Glad for everyone and you, such a great device!!!

[@ThePetieProject]

Never seen it before, will check it out!

[@Tourist-Q]

@@ThePetieProject The video is called "My Secret Weapon for Building Bigger Calves". It's fairly easy, you just need a PVC pipe and t-couplings... But I'm not sure how big the diamater of the t-couplings has to be and how exactly to attach them to the PVC pipe.

[@marko-182]

How did you measure bar widht for you feet? I mean these 2 bars where you put feets between. Will this be ok for any size of feets?

[@ThePetieProject]

This is one size fits all! Men and Women with all different foot sizes are currently using The Tib Blaster without any fit issues!

[@wallaceanthony4707]

Standard weights have a 2" hole, and 1 1/2 pvc has a 1.9" outside diameter. Are you sure you're using 1 1/4?

[@ThePetieProject]

I am using 1.5"! Sorry, I know I say 1.25" a couple of times in the video

[@AdamS-lp1qm]

How wide is the tube to put the weight on? I want to see if it will fit my weights

1.9" Outside Diameter. The sizing is based around fitting olympic plates.

Standard plate version is now live! thetibfactory.com/products/tib-blaster-standard-plate

[@cactusladysouth1000]

what is the total length of yours? yours is longer than ours, how can that be? the 17" long dowel will not fit it is to long??? We just figured out why yours is longer, because you didn't use the 90 degree elbow you used a three way fitting which is longer. And yes your video says 1 1/4" instead of 1 1/2 ". You might want to add an explanation at the beginning of the video on both problems, it is frustrating following your directions that don't work. My husband got it figured out because he does plumbing work but for other folks it would not be fun.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for posting this and helping everyone with the savings cost, Lord knows we can all use good ideas to save a dime now a days! I will be looking at your other ATG items. Thanks again.

[@plothaki]

Could you make a 1 inch bar version please?

[@ThePetieProject]

I will consider a 1" version in the future! I worry about the structural integrity of a 1" version vs the larger pipe to hold the weights. The current olympic sized one is rock solid!
