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

Chest

How to do it

1Take an underhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder width, and have a spotter help you unrack — the bar is much harder to control coming out of the rack this way.
2Lower to the lower chest with elbows tucked and press.
3It biases the upper chest and is easy on the shoulder, but only with a competent unrack.
