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.

What it works

Legs

How to do it

1Lie face-down with the pad just above the heels and the knee joint at the machine's pivot.
2Curl the heels toward the glutes, squeeze, then lower under control.
3Letting the hips lift off the bench to force the last reps is the usual cheat.

Cues that matter

›Hips pinned to the pad
›Curl fully, squeeze
›Control the negative
