WHO IS HASSAN MOSTAFA?
Hassan Mostafa is an IFBB pro bodybuilder from Egypt but now lives in Kuwait. Mostafa didn’t grow up playing sports but rather wanted to emulate his father who liked to lift weights. In his teen years he became interested in competing in bodybuilding after his friend’s father won a local show. He gained the confidence to give it a go and won the first contest he entered.
It was at the young age of 23 where he won his first big show the 2014 IFBB Junior World Championships. Then just like Big Ramy the current Mr. Olympia and also fellow Egyptian, Mostafa won the Amateur Olympia in Kuwait to turn pro in 2018 whereas Big Ramy won 6 years before him.
Since then, Mostafa has had some good finishes including 3rd place at the 2019 Indy pro and 4th place at the 2020 New York Pro. However, this year Mostafa is having the most success yet, we’re excited to see if he can keep up this momentum!
CLOSING THOUGHTS
The 2022 Orlando Pro was another event that showed us how contentious the Men’s Open division can be. We can’t wait until December when these giants go head-to-head to win the title of Mr. O.
