About me

I was on a weight loss fitness journey, and in 2018 someone suggested I try Strongman. Never looked back ever since and fell in love with it.

Athlete Spotlight

What does your competition day look like (Do you have a pre-comp ritual or superstitions)?

I just try to be calm and mindful, enjoy the moment and take the day one event at a time

What is the most important mental aspect of your training and competing?

Progress, as long as I keep improving day in, day out, comp to comp, then I’ll achieve what I’ve set out eventually

Who are your role models and why?

The best version of myself is my role model, everyone is different and has their own story. My role model is the version I want to be that I aspire to

What advice would you give to someone who wants to start in the sport?

Be willing to learn, adapt and don’t rush

What are your plans and goals for the future in your sport and generally?

My goal is to win Worlds Strongest Man and every other major international comp, to be the first Muslim Arab to dominate in this sport and to inspire others from the community to have high physical aspirations.

What do you enjoy doing outside of the gym/sport?

Being with my family and spending every moment I can making memories with them
