Hey Guys,
I just saw Mustafa a few hours ago. I was training at Gold's Gym in Santa Clara, Ca (Monday night- 9:30) and I saw this guy doing stiff-leg deads and I thought "Man, that dude looks a lot like Mustafa". But I shrugged it off, not really expecting it to be him. A buddy of mine happend to be training there as well and had walked by him for a closer look, then came to ask me if that was him. I got a little closer and sure enough it was Mustafa.
He was just finishing up his workout so we chatted with him for a while. Very nice guy, extremely friendly. He said he felt he was about 80% for the Ironman and that he was peaking for the Arnold. He said he liked how the Ironman was judged and felt encouraged. He was very genuine, talking a lot about his family and children back home.
I've been fortunate enough to meet and become friends with a couple of the pro's including Troy Alves, Chris Cook, and Roc Shabazz. They are all exceptionally nice people. I now have to put Mustafa in this group of "very good guys you'd be fortunate to meet" as well. For those of you who are cheering for him, you made an excellent choice for a lot of reason in my opinion. I hope he keeps doing well in the future.
