The myth is that this guy was a fisherman in Egypt, who could barely make a living. So he moved to Kuwait with his family and started working for minmumwages at Oxygen gym Kuwait, wiping off the sweat from the machines with a towel.
In the breaks he started training a lil bit here and there, while having no money at all and eating like 50 grams of protein per day tops.
3 years later and 80 pds of muscles heavier he won the NY Pro at his pro debut, making former Mr. Olympia contendor Victor Martinez look like a female physique competitor. Talk about genetics.
