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.

Incline Dumbbell Fly

An incline arc that biases the upper chest, and one of the few chest movements that is a stretch rather than a press.

What it works

Chest

How to do it

1Bench at 30°, dumbbells above the upper chest, elbows softly bent and fixed.
2Open out until you feel a stretch, then arc back together.
3The incline shifts the work to the upper chest.
4Never turn it into a press by bending the elbows to get through a heavy set.

Cues that matter

›Bench at thirty degrees
›Soft elbow bend, fixed throughout
›Open to a stretch, then arc back
