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

Biceps

How to do it

1Set the seat so the upper arms lie flat on the pad and the elbows line up with the machine's pivot.
2Curl up, squeeze, and lower under control to full extension.
3The fixed path means you can push to failure safely.

Cues that matter

›Elbows on the pad, not sliding
›Curl to a hard squeeze
›Resist the whole way down
