How do the accessories pair with The Tib Bar Guy products?
The accessories offered by The Tib Bar Guy are designed to amplify, support, or complement the primary equipment, such as Tib Trainers, Slant Boards, Nordic Benches, and more. Whether you're looking to prepare for a training session, scale difficulty, or expand your movement options, these accessories help complete the system. Here’s how some of our accessories fit into the big picture:
- Pairs with: Tib Trainers, Slant Boards, Nordic Benches
- Use for: joint prep, blood flow restriction (BFR), tendon compression, voodoo flossing, or warming up stiff joints
- How they help: wrap around knees, ankles, elbows, or wrists pre-training to enhance circulation and tissue readiness. Great for users managing tendon discomfort or warming up before deep range of motion movements.
- Pair with: power racks or pull-up bars
- Use for: hanging core work like leg raises, knee tucks, and oblique lifts
- How they help: train your core with reduced grip fatigue, allowing for longer time under tension and enhanced lower ab activation.
- Pair with: Slant Boards, Nordic Benches, calisthenics work
- Use for: assistance (e.g., band-assisted Nordic curls or pull-ups) OR resistance (e.g., band-resisted squats, band resisted push-ups, etc.), as well as warming up and cooling down.
- How they help: incredibly versatile. Use them for joint-friendly assistance, progressive overload, or as a standalone warm-up tool.
- Pair with: racks, cable machines, or resistance bands
- Use for: reverse squats to target the hip flexors and abs, knee flexion to target the hamstrings, or knee extension to target the quads.
- How they help: one of the best anterior chain tools available. Pairs exceptionally well with Tib Trainers and Slant Boards to round out a full anterior chain bulletproofing session.
- Pair with: pull-up bars and power racks
- Use for: upper body and core training - push-ups, rows, dips, L-sits, and much more
- How they help: enhanced freedom of movement provides joint-friendly pressing and pulling. Instability builds greater core and stabilizer strength. Perfect for minimalist or home setups.
- Pair with: Tib Bar Pro, Tib Machine, Torque Bar, NBE v2, Push-Pull Sled, and more
- Use for: adding load to any exercise, especially where a barbell or dumbbell is used.
- How they help: essential for progressive overload and continual long term gains. Bumper plates protect your floors and simplify loading.
Together, these accessories give you the ability to warm up smarter, train harder, and recover better, thereby amplifying your results whether you train in a garage gym or a high performance facility.
Do the accessories require other equipment to use them?
Some do and some don’t. The good news is, many of The Tib Bar Guy’s accessories are versatile and can be used with basic home setups or even on their own. Here’s a breakdown:
Can be used independently or with minimal setup:
- TBG Floss Bands – no other equipment needed
- TBG Resistance Bands – can be used solo or anchored to almost anything stable
- TBG Ab Straps – just need a pull-up bar, power rack, or overhead anchor
- TBG Olympic Rings – require a stable anchor point (rack, tree, bar, ceiling mount)
- Reverse Squat Strap – can be attached to a cable machine or band setup
- Grip Crush Set – These are self-contained grip tools that can be used anywhere. Great for building crush and pinch grip strength.
- TBG Parallel Bars – Free-standing and portable. Perfect for deficit push-ups and L-sits in virtually any environment.
Requires compatible equipment to use fully:
- Weight Plates – designed to load other equipment like the Tib Bar Pro, Tib Machine, or any other standard barbell or dumbbell setup.
- Multi-Step – Specifically designed to mount onto the SledTred platform to enable elevated step-ups, split squats, calf raises, and even box jumps.
- Power Tower – Also attaches to the SledTred, adding a multi-grip handle for a variety of different pull-up and chin-up movements (pronated, supinated, and neutral grip, along with a variety of different grip widths as well).
So, if you’re working with a minimalist setup or just getting started, most accessories will work on their own or with basic gym gear. But if you're investing in the SledTred, adding tools like the Multi-Step or Power Tower will dramatically expand what you can do with it, turning it into a full body training station.

What is the Training Collective?
The Training Collective is the go-to resource for mastering every piece of gear in The Tib Bar Guy ecosystem, including accessories. It breaks down how each tool functions, what movements you can do with it, how to perform these various movements, and what muscles they target.
This section is incredibly valuable for accessories because it showcases how smaller tools, like floss bands, ab straps, and a dipping belt, can have a massive impact when used with intent.
How can using TBG accessories improve my training?

What are the most effective ways to train using accessories?
Use TBG accessories to:
- Add targeted joint work at the start or end of your session
- Incorporate a variety of calisthenics movements
- Create full body micro-circuits (i.e. sled push + reverse squat + crushing grip hold)
- Target hard to hit muscles (e.g., crushing grip, hip flexors, deep core)
- Support larger compound lifts with key weak point training
Consistency and intentionality are key. Accessories are most powerful when they are hit hard and programmed with purpose, not just thrown in randomly.
Do you offer any guides or programs for using your equipment?
Yes. Both the Getting Started section and the Training Collective are filled with practical guides and programming insights for all accessories. With the Getting Started section you will find all relevant assembly information, although most TBG accessory pieces come ready to use right out of the box. The Training Collective teaches you how to use your accessories to their absolute fullest potential so that you can make the greatest gains.
Do I need any prior training experience to use your products?
Not at all. Most TBG accessories are intuitive and beginner friendly. For example, floss bands, resistance bands, and grip tools can be used by anyone with basic movement familiarity. If you’re new to training or coming off injury, accessories allow you to scale intensity and build foundational capacity before moving to more advanced equipment.
And with the help of the Training Collective and Learn sections, you'll always have expert guidance right at your fingertips whenever you need it.
