SHERIF MOURAD

MuscleGallery presents Muscle Egypt, Part 4: Anwar Elsayed and Hassan Meneam Samea with Sherif Mourad

Hassan Meneam Samea is a pure power package. This 29-year-old packs and 220 pounds onto his 5 feet, 7 inch frame. Hassan grew up as an athlete, playing soccer and practicing karate. Today he works as a bodyguard. But most of the time, you’ll find Hassan in Cairo gyms sculpting his body with his fellow bodybuilding friends. He loves an audience, and he loved the tight clothes we gave him for the shoot as much as we did seeing him in them. His English might be limited, but with a body like that, who needs more than body language?"

"In 2006 and 2007, we took our cameras to Egypt. We knew that some of the world's greatest bodybuilders trained and competed there, and we were determined to beat the rush of publicity that always occurs when fine athletes are discovered in a corner of the world that may come as a surprise to the uninitiated. Over the next year, we returned 4 times, and the results were astonishing. In Egypt, Bodybuilding Champions are great athletic stars, known throughout the nation and treated as we treat the great NFL team players in the United States. You'll meet Ahmed El-Wardany, Hassam Meneam Samea, Moustafa Nesim, Said El-Kohley Saad, Mahmoud Atef, Anwar El-Sayed, Mohamed Zakaria, Atiea Shalan and many other great athletes in the almost 100 video clips and more than 700 images of MUSCLE EGYPT!"
