# Mankel Over Matter - Business Description
Mankel Over Matter is a powerlifting coaching business based in Hull, founded by David Mankel, a 2x British Powerlifting Champion and multiple British record holder with over 20 years of training experience. The business serves driven strength athletes and lifters who reject mediocrity and demand measurable, structured progress toward competitive powerlifting goals.
David coaches across both Strongman and Powerlifting disciplines, drawing on proven experience competing at elite national levels in BPU and GPC competitions. Rather than relying on generic programming templates, Mankel Over Matter delivers individualised coaching built around each athlete's specific needs, technical refinement, and strategic progression.
The business operates two primary coaching pathways: online coaching for remote clients seeking personalised programming with weekly check-ins and accountability, and premium 1-to-1 in-person coaching for those wanting real-time technical feedback and advanced individualisation. Beyond direct coaching, Mankel Over Matter offers automated strength programmes via Payhip, branded apparel, and hosts live competitive events.
What sets this business apart is David's competitive pedigree combined with his coaching philosophy of removing guesswork and building strength intentionally. This isn't a generic online coaching operation—it's run by someone actively competing and winning at national level, embedding genuine experience into every programme. The emphasis on technique refinement, structured progression, and measurable results resonates with serious lifters unwilling to compromise on coaching quality.
