DUMBBELL TIBIALIS CURL

Lie sideways on a bench so that your outer shin is supported by the edge of the bench (ankle and foot are suspended). Invert the foot by raising the inner edge of it towards the ceiling. Then lower the weight into eversion by allowing the weight to slowly pull the foot towards the ground.
