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.

Chin-up

More biceps than a pull-up and easier to accumulate reps on, which is what builds a back.

What it works

Lats, Biceps

How to do it

1Palms toward you, hands about shoulder width, full hang to start.
2Pull by driving the elbows down into the ribs until the chin clears the bar, then lower slowly to a complete hang.
3The biceps take a bigger share here than in a pull-up, which is why most people can do more of them — use that to accumulate the pulling volume a back actually needs rather than grinding singles on a harder variation.

Cues that matter

›Palms toward you, hands about shoulder width
›Pull the elbows into the ribs
›Full hang at the bottom of every rep
