Austrian by birth, started athletics as a swimmer before beoming a powerlifter then strongman.
Was seriously injured in a car accident in 1995 and stopped strongman competition. Tried to start his own strong man league to help legitimize the sport and take it to a bigger audience. Doug Edmonds founder of WSM made the edict that anyone who sompeted in Manfred's league would recieve a ban from WSM competition so the new division crumbled quickly. Still does feats of strength like simultaneously crushing two pop cans ( one in each hand)
