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.

Landmine Squat

The bar's arc counterbalances you, which keeps the torso upright and makes a good squat pattern easy to feel.

What it works

How to do it

1Hold the end of a landmine bar at chest height, feet shoulder width.

Cues that matter

›Hold the end at chest height
›Feet shoulder width, squat straight down
›Let the bar's arc hold you upright
