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.

Tricep Extension

Isolates the triceps by fixing the elbow, so the one thing that moves is the forearm.

What it works

Triceps

How to do it

1With the elbows fixed and pointing forward, extend the arms against the resistance until straight, squeeze, then return under control to a full bend.
2Wherever the load comes from, the rule is the same: only the forearm moves.
