Description: hookgrip.com Meso Hassona, 94kg Junior World Champion (2017 champion at 85kg) weightlifter for Qatar, training while 7 days out at the 2018 Asian Youth and Juniors Championship. Some notes: -This is part 2 of 2 in our series on Meso Hassona training for the 2018 Asian Juniors in Urgench, Uzbekistan. Part 1: youtube.com/watch?v=m8LFT9tBNdI -His full legal name is Fares Ibrahim El Hassona El Bakh. If you were going to shorten his name to two names to be more similar to most Western names, his name would be Fares Hassona. Hassona is his father's last name. However, he said that no one calls him Fares, he goes by Meso. He said it's a nickname but not necessarily a common one for people named Fares. So anyway, he goes by Meso Hassona. Hopefully that makes sense. -In this video he does C&Js up to 218kg/481lb (8:15), clean pulls up to 230kg (10:02), then he does some light snatches up to 75kg (12:18), and a variety of stretches. -He went on to win gold in the event. He clean and jerked 221kg in the competition, a PR for him: instagram.com/p/BiMvEDEBwjw -He is originally from Egypt but he made the move to Qatar about 4 years ago. Mostly due to support but he doesn't want to talk in detail about the Egypt/Qatar situation so we don't know much about the details. -His instagram is here: instagram.com/mesohassona -The intro and outro music is royalty free music called "Dramatic-Moments" Store Instagram: instagram.com/hookgripstore Main Instagram: instagram.com/hookgrip Facebook page: facebook.com/hookgripdotcom Twitter: twitter.com/hookgrip
