Pax Beale started lifting weights at the age of 53 to strengthen a bad back. He loved it so much that within a year he was competing in bodybuilding contests. Then, at the age of 61, with a national bodybuilding championship and a Mr. U.S.A. title under his belt, he was diagnosed with crippling heart disease.
After less-than-desirable results from a five-way coronary bypass, Pax's prognosis was still dire. Although his symptoms stabilized, he was essentially a heart cripple with only 25% of his maximum heart efficency, allegedly irreversible dead heart tissue, and the danger of an enlarged heart. He needed a miracle and ultimately got one. Now, with a body of his dreams in his 70s, Pax has quite a story to tell. Not only did he manage to recover from surgery and completely reverse his heart disease, he went on to win yet another national bodybuilding championship.
This book tells his inspiring true story and outlines the specific step-by-step program and philosophy that made his miraculous journey from heart surgery to national bodybuilding champion possible. He explains the four steps - nutrition, training, supplements, and the principle of total commitment - in great detail and presents important research into the cardiac benefits of weight-resistance training. He also introduces the nutritional supplement Creatine/Pyruvate, which his research supports was the pivotal component of his remarkable recovery.
One quickly realizes that Pax's comeback isn't a miracle after all. It was a result of hard work, research, and resourcefulness. Now he offers the knowledge he gained and the proven results of his experience in order to help others prevent or reverse America's number one killer - heart disease.
