How Paul Gained 8kg of Lean Muscle and Reclaimed His Strength After a Triple Bypass
For many, a triple bypass would be the end of the road for intense physical activity. But for Paul, it was the wake-up call he needed — and the beginning of a powerful comeback.
From Hospital Bed to Stair Climbs: The Start of Paul’s Journey
After being diagnosed with coronary heart disease , Paul underwent life-saving open-heart surgery. The experience left him shaken but motivated. He completed three months of cardiac rehabilitation, but something was missing.
