Meanwhile in Egypt …
Mohammed Ehssan Front Squats 300kg!
Remember he injured himself during his second snatch attempt at worlds (partially torn quad muscle).
During my visit in Cairo he was already training with the team again. Not doing crazy weights like this, but he was back to full range of motion squats.

Other Huge Front Squats:
So… I guess his knee is ok now? Or maybe front squatting 300 kg is just part of his rehab and he is still nursing the knee back to health?
This video is taken in Budapest, I have been in to trainingcamps at the same place. This was before the worlds, I guess september.
Thanks for the note.. Yes, this was before the World’s, apparently. I just read Gregor’s caption more carefully, and he says Ehssan is squatting again after the injury, albeit not in the 300 kg range. That makes more sense. I hope Ehssan does get back to squatting these weights!
