A couple of days ago Mohamed Ehab told me that he will go for a new Snatch PR on Wednesday (18.11.2015).
After his morning session, which was very light, I jokingly went up to him and was like “Hey what happened to the Snatch PR you were talking about?”. He said “Yes, I will do it in the afternoon.”
… and he delivered!
Update 06.01.2015: Full Video of him working up to 163kg.
He even took 160kg twice!
Original Video of the 163kg
He also tried to go for a Clean & Jerk PR of 198kg but missed the Jerk.
