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.

Reverse Grip Tricep Pushdown

The reversed grip biases the medial head, and the grip runs out before the triceps do.

What it works

Triceps

How to do it

1Take an underhand grip on a straight bar and push down, elbows tight to the sides.
2The reversed grip biases the medial head of the triceps.
3Use a lighter weight than a normal pushdown — the grip is the limiting factor.
