What does PocketAthlete actually do?

You log each morning: sleep, soreness and fatigue. It scores your readiness, adjusts that day's session, and builds four-week training blocks around your sport, your position and the equipment you have.

Is it only for footballers?

No. It covers football, rugby, basketball, running, weightlifting and general gym training, with position-specific work for the team sports.

No. Tell it what you have and it programs around it. Many of the technical drills need nothing but a ball and a wall.

Can it work around an injury?

It works around soreness you log and avoids body parts you tell it to leave alone. It is general training information, not medical advice — see a physiotherapist for a diagnosis.

Cable Chest Fly

Hold a soft, fixed elbow and bring the hands all the way together rather than just inward. The cable keeps tension on the chest through the whole arc, including the top, where a dumbbell fly is very nearly resting against gravity.

What it works

Chest

How to do it

1Set the pulleys at shoulder height, take a handle in each hand and stand a stride in front of the stack so there is tension before you start.
2Keep a soft, fixed elbow throughout — the angle should not change — and bring the hands all the way together in front of the chest rather than just inward.
3Let the chest stretch as the arms open behind you.
4The cable is the point: at the top of a dumbbell fly the weight is almost resting against gravity, and here it never stops pulling.

Cues that matter

›Soft, fixed elbow throughout
›Bring the hands together, not just in
›Let the chest stretch at the back
