About this app

Bring your Strongman training to the next level with the MST Systems App, all your Strongman workouts straight at your finger tips.

Brought to you by Pro Strongman coach Shane Jerman, the MST (modified strongman training) Systems is a revolutionary training system which uniquely blends many different proven methods together, to create the ultimate all round strength athlete.

Conjugate, western linear periodization & undulating periodization combined with SAQ (speed, agility, quickness), bodyweight control & perfect structural balance work help build the base of the MST System.

These methods took Luke Richardson, Mark Felix, Ken McClelland & Shane Flowers to Worlds Strongest Man. Lucy Underdown became the first female to deadlift 300kg. As well as programming New Zealand's Strongest Man Matthew Ragg, Worlds Competitor Rongo Keene and many more.

Shane has programmed title wins in many weight classes, to list just the UK's achievements - Britain's & Europe's Strongest Man u80kg, England's Strongest Man u90kg, England's Most Powerful Man u105kg, Europe's Strongest Man 2020, England's Strongest Man 2021. This doesn't include all the titles won in Europe, USA, Australia & New Zealand.

The app has 100% fully customisable programming, guiding you through your off-season and competition peak training with cycling phases of maximal strength, rep strength, technique/execution and specific event skill work, with over 250 exercises to choose from to build your perfect programme.

Run your own customised programmes, or choose from pre-built MST Systems phases which guarantee you results.

Programmes will cover every aspect, such as log peak programmes, deadlift peaks, as well as programmes built specifically around upcoming Strongman comps such as England's Strongest Man qualifiers, so you have exactly what you need to prep perfectly.

Ratings and reviews

The value provided by the app is high, but the app itself is not amazing to use. If you leave it running in the background for too long it'll claim you're offline, if you try to open notes during working out you just get a black screen. Also maybe you can but I can't find it, you get locked into the days you work out and have to just select them manually if you have to miss a day.

The programming is exactly as promised, top notch; however, the app leaves much to be desired. It is massively lacking in functionality for £300/$378 a year. The notes section is laughable, it works on some exercises but not on others. Program descriptions are cut off if you aren't looking at a current program. Most notably, you can't edit a program once created. There are other issues as well. The "it's just for the progmming/ hardcore users" excuse doesn't fly in 2023. Expectations are higher.

This app is absolute class and it looks like its only going to get better. I had issues logging in and had support within hours who sorted it out. It covers all aspects of strongman training i also love the restoration phase which I'm going to start with. Going to update the review once I have run some skill and peak phases 🔥🔥
