In my previous post on a calf workout from Steve Maxwell I mentioned using a dumbbell in lieu of a DARD. While this has worked great for me so far, there is another option for you DIY types.
For those wondering what the DARD is, it's simply a device used to strengthen the anterior tibialis muscles of the shin. It is useful in preventing shin splints and balancing out your lower leg development. Here is a link to a homemade DARD plan that tells you exactly how to piece your own device together with plumbing parts for about $15. This guide is quite useful in that it provides the exact lengths that you need to buy for the various pieces of pipe, taking away any guess work (though you can always alter the plans to suite your individual needs).
