Mjölnir Forge
Train. Adapt. Prevail.
Competition-focused programming, workout logging, and performance tracking built for the events strongman athletes actually face.
For iPhone. A product of Forge & Frequency LLC.
The Central Forge
Forged Around the Competition
Most training apps hand you a generic plan and leave you to bend it toward your contest. Mjölnir Forge starts from the other end: the events on the entry form, the implements you will actually pick up, and the date you have to be ready.
Competition-Specific Programming
Preparation is built around the demands of the contest you entered, not adapted from a general plan afterward. The events you selected and the equipment you have shape what appears in the program.
Session Guidance
Workouts can carry the context that makes them worth doing properly.
- Purpose of the session
- Target RPE
- Workload intent
- Recommended rest
- Coaching guidance
- Exercise instructions
Training Log
Record what actually happened, in the units the movement is measured in.
- Sets
- Repetitions
- Load
- Time
- Distance
- RPE
- Notes
- Completed work
Performance Tracking
Logged work accumulates into a training history you can actually read — what you lifted, when, and how it has moved across a preparation block.
Built for Strength Sport
Strongman and strongwoman events, Highland Games, and general strength training — with the implements, carries, loading events, and time-based scoring those disciplines depend on.
Training Phases
Base
Build general work capacity and reestablish the movements the preparation will depend on.
Build
Add load and event-specific exposure as the contest demands come into focus.
Peak
Sharpen toward competition weights, distances, and time limits.
Taper
Reduce accumulated fatigue while holding on to the readiness you built.
The Implement Hall
Every Tool Has a Purpose
A yoke is not a squat. A stone is not a deadlift. Mjölnir Forge treats event work as its own category, with the implements and scoring formats strength sport actually uses.

Highland Games
The highlighted tag is the event's defining demand. The others are patterns it also trains — which is why a stone is not only a load, and a farmer's walk is as much a grip event as a carry. Event availability depends on your selected discipline and the equipment recorded in your profile.
The War Table
Know the Trial. Forge the Path.
Four moves from an entry form to a preparation block you can train against.
-
Define the competition
Add the date and the competition information so everything downstream has something to aim at.
-
Enter the events
Add implements, weights, distances, time limits, repetitions, and the other requirements the contest sets.
-
Build the preparation
Generate the training structure that leads toward the contest across Base, Build, Peak, and Taper.
-
Train and adapt
Complete workouts, track performance, and use the recorded information to understand how preparation is going.
The Forge Ledger
The Forge Remembers
Every mark. Every trial. Recorded in iron. The Forge Ledger is where logged work stops being a pile of sessions and becomes a record you can read.
Training History
Review previously completed work session by session, with the program and week it belonged to.
Personal Records
Track both actual performance and estimated one-rep maxes derived from the sets you logged.
Performance Trends
Use recorded data to understand how a lift has moved across a time window rather than guessing.
Milestones
Permanent accomplishments earned through recorded work, dated to when you actually earned them.
Forge Marks
Recognition tied to training, competition, consistency, and progression across your history.
Forge Rank
Longer-term progression through the Forge, measured across accumulated recorded work.
Forge Marks
Earned, not awarded
Sixteen marks recognise training, competition, consistency, and progression. Each one is tied to work you actually recorded.

Local-First
Your Training Belongs to You
Mjölnir Forge is designed to be local-first. That is an architectural decision, not a marketing line, and it was made for three practical reasons.
- Strongman gyms have terrible signal. Warehouses, basements, and back lots are where this sport lives. Training should not stall because a request timed out.
- Core functionality should not need a server. Your profile, programs, and workout logs are stored on your device so the app works when the network does not.
- Health and training information should not be collected without reason. If a feature does not require sending your data somewhere, it should not send it.
What this means in practice
The current app does not require a separate Mjölnir Forge login for its core experience. There is no Mjölnir Forge username or password to create, and no account database behind the training features.
App Store purchases are handled by Apple through StoreKit, so subscription functions do involve Apple's services.
The Privacy Policy is the controlling description of what the app stores, what leaves your device, and how support requests are handled. Where this page and the policy differ, the policy governs.
If you live in Washington or Nevada, the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy also applies to you and describes how information about your body and your training is handled.

Questions
Answers from the Hall
What is Mjölnir Forge?
An iOS training and competition-preparation system designed primarily around strongman-style competition. You describe the contest you are preparing for, build a preparation block around it, log your training, and review what that work produced.
Is Mjölnir Forge only for Strongman?
No. Strongman is the primary design target, and strongwoman competition is supported throughout. Highland Games functionality is included where those events are supported. Athletes doing general strength training can use the programming and logging features without entering a competition at all.
Does Mjölnir Forge require an account?
The current app does not use a separate Mjölnir Forge username or password for its core experience. Your athlete profile, programs, and workout logs are stored on your device.
Purchases are tied to the Apple ID that bought them, which is how restoring a subscription works.
Does the app work without internet access?
Core training functionality is designed for local use, so building and logging training does not depend on a connection.
Functions that involve outside services — App Store purchases, restoring a subscription, refreshing entitlement, or emailing support — do require connectivity.
How does competition programming work?
It runs in that order: events, then competition requirements, then training phases.
You select the events on the contest. You enter what those events demand — implements, weights, distances, time limits, repetitions. The preparation is then structured across Base, Build, Peak, and Taper leading up to the date you entered.
What are Base, Build, Peak, and Taper?
- Base — build general work capacity and reestablish the movements the block depends on.
- Build — add load and event-specific exposure.
- Peak — sharpen toward competition weights, distances, and time limits.
- Taper — reduce accumulated fatigue while holding on to readiness.
Does Mjölnir Forge replace a coach?
No. It is a planning and training tool. It cannot watch your technique, see that you are moving badly today, or decide that a session should be abandoned.
Keep applying your own judgment and professional coaching where appropriate, particularly when choosing loads on days you feel unusually tired or beaten up.
Is Mjölnir Forge medical advice?
No. Mjölnir Forge provides training planning and educational information. It is not a medical device, medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or an emergency service.
Heavy training and injuries carry real risk, and the app cannot evaluate your medical history or current clinical status. Consult a qualified clinician before beginning or changing training, follow the guidance they give you, and stop training if warning symptoms occur.
The Health and Safety section of the EULA is the controlling statement on this.
How do I restore my subscription?
- Make sure your device is connected to the internet.
- Confirm you are signed in with the Apple ID that purchased the subscription.
- In Mjölnir Forge, tap Restore Purchases if you see the subscription screen.
- Or open Profile → Subscription and tap Refresh App Store Entitlement.
- Close and reopen the app if the App Store shows your subscription as active but the app has not refreshed yet.
If you contact support, include what you tapped, what message you saw, your iPhone model, and your iOS version.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Apple manages App Store subscriptions, so cancellation happens in your Apple ID settings rather than in the app. We cannot cancel an App Store subscription on your behalf.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap Mjölnir Forge.
- Tap Cancel Subscription. If there is no cancel button, Apple may already show it as cancelled or expired.
Refunds are also decided by Apple, at reportaproblem.apple.com. Requesting a refund does not always cancel future billing, so cancel separately if you do not want it to renew.
What happens to my training data if I delete the app?
Local app data remains on your device until you delete it in the app, reset the app's data if that feature is available, or delete the app from your device.
If you delete the app or move to a new device, local app data may not appear unless it was restored by your device backup. Treat your device backup as the thing that protects your training history.
See Retention and Deletion in the Privacy Policy for the controlling description.
How do I contact support?
Email support@mjolnirforge.com. Typical response time is within 48 hours.
Please avoid sending sensitive health information unless it is necessary for your question. Support is not emergency support and does not provide medical advice.
Is an Android version available?
No. The current application is focused on iPhone and iOS.
