He has already set his sights on the prestigious 2024 Mr. Olympia. The only thing stopping him is an invitation from IFBB.

However, despite his optimism, skepticism loomed large among the netizens. Fans questioned his ability to secure victory with his current physique.

One commenter expressed disbelief at Mostafa’s appearance, “Are you kidding me…. Dude looks 3 months out,” reflecting that he probably needs 3 more months to be ready instead of 10 days. A bodybuilding enthusiast bluntly questioned whether Mostafa is truly ready to compete or not, “He still competes!? 10 days or 10 weeks? Not even close to be ready! Just retire already,” read the comment. Amidst criticism, a few acknowledged his efforts while advising that if he improved his midsection, he could still do well in time for the competition. They wrote, “So impressive, if he comes in with a tighter midsection he doesn’t need to be shredded.”
