After two years of only physical workout and controlled diet, he was able to gain enough strength to eventually start weight lifting. “I failed sixty nine times,” he stated. Yet he did not lose hope, instead he customized his workout routine to the one that’d fit him. He added that the main key to his success was mind control.
“Never give up … whatever your weaknesses are, turn them into your strengths..It’s all related to your mind because Allah has built our mind in a beautiful way. If your mind is strong enough to bear all circumstances in your life … you will be able to cure any disease.”
Furqan can now lift 60 kgs on deadlift. His doctor call his achievements unprecedented. “Such a workout regimen [and] improving bone strength has never before been reported in pycnodysostosis,” said Dr Kirmani, a doctor from AKU who diagnosed Furqan with the rare disease. “Over the years, he has built up his muscle mass to a point … that he has no fractures at all.”
“Now when I see myself in this phase of my life, I feel like I am out of this world,” Furqan added, smiling. “I feel like I am a superman who can conquer this world with his power.”
