Meso Hassona Part 2 (218kg Clean and Jerk) - 2018 Asian Juniors Training Hall [4k 50]

www.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: • Meso Hassona Part 1 (2...
-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: / 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: / mesohassona
-The intro and outro music is royalty free music called "Dramatic-Moments"

I really enjoy how you're managing to catch the atmosphere, we're not just watching Meso Hassona train - we're actually experiencing it.

[@StrongForLife]

He made the bottle flip but no one even saw! 😥 Ridiculous lifting from Meso though! 😳🙌🏼

[@Warbaby_]

Nice touch from the rest of the guys in the training hall to stop and appreciate his lifting

[@Patrick.E.]

Shoot, I wish I had one of those people to stretch me the frick out

[@ErikfromEarth]

4.9/5 star rating for this video for cutting off whatever was about to happen around 4:09.

[@JuanLopez-qx5zz]

1:28 he finally manages it...and no one is there to see it...tough bro tough

[@grymek737]

Close to Kolecki's level at 20 years old,just needs to improve the Snatch, excellent technique all around and very strong.

[@mickrockhard1100]

Been a fan of this guy since I first saw him at the 2016 olympics. Amazing how good he has gotten in just 2 years. Cant wait to see what he can do in 2020 Tokyo

[@samirsamiro8648]

MickRockHard I hope he will take all three gold medals, he is capable of that with this progress

[@sherrylouise9935]

The uncovered ear optimally laugh because trowel willy skip absent a flaky seed. peaceful, obeisant drop

[@nirusuroraku6283]

That pause clean for reps at around 11 mins with 120kg for me is ridiculous. I understand there are folk who could do more, but I cant imagine how that must feel to be that strong. I use 120kg for my working sets in squats! Not for tossing around like a breadstick!

[@salmahdawi1]

بسم الله ماشاء الله

[@Loticord]

What did he say before his lifts? It sounds powerful, a good battle cry

[@psychobastard396]

Where was meso hassona? The bar's just moving by itself?

[@SquatBenDeadlift]

Anyone know what he screams before he lifts ?

[@andresgonzalez3823]

lifting with aggression helps when heavy.

[@paddytewify]

Absolutely love these videos. One of my favourite channels on TH-cam. How old is Meso ? Never heard of him before but I'm very impressed with his technique and look forward to seeing him at adult level. Hopefully big things to come for this one

[@Simon-cr5ff]

Brigantes OG 20 years young i think.

[@hookgrip]

yes he's 20, this is his last year as a junior. glad you like the videos!

[@jasonbennett2194]

anyone know what kind of wrist wraps, belt, and knee sleeves he is using?? the wrists look like boxing wraps!?

[@colesonfire3967]

bring back the old intro!!!

[@rogiecadiente8885]

What great support of the sport of Olympic Weightlifting in their country. One day he will become Olympic Champion.

[@mattlong2050]

If he puts his weights away you guys can too !

[@musllm]

The Asian Sideshow Bob keeps getting stronger and stronger!

[@lukagaber175]

What does he say before lift? Two words...

[@narayankannan9679]

He grew hair to move to 94kg class 🙈

[@emmanuelsimukwayi]

[@AM-ux3yx]

Good to see you have a good sense of humour!

[@musllm]

[@narayankannan9679]

[@TehRealChruZ]

[@5ManaAndADream]

[@chachi_luna]
