Summary

In Episode #12 I sat down with Ben Handsaker (better known as Abstacker), an Australian champion fitness model, cover model, international motivational speaker, and top performing coach. At the 2014 Musclemania Australian championship, Ben won first place in men’s physique and first place overall. He has since landed four covers in large global fitness magazines and has appeared in fifty fitness magazines around the world. Despite all this success, Ben’s journey has not been without insecurity, failure, and adversity. Ben was once an overweight party boy who had little regard for his health and wellness. In this episode, learn how Ben was able to turn his life around. We also discussed his morning rituals, how he maintains a positive mindset and handles stress, and his top tips for weight loss and building rock hard abs. Ben is hands down the most motivational and inspiring guy I’ve met, and I recommend this episode for anyone wanting to improve their mindset, become a more positive person, and get better results in the gym.

0:00.0	Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience
0:07.4	numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you
0:12.2	to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying
0:17.6	the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple
0:22.6	or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue
0:27.5	to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big
0:32.3	plans for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this
0:36.7	possible.
0:37.7	I was at a university bar and I decided I was just going to go out and I had my eyes
0:45.6	on and she was quite attractive and so forth. Nervously walk over and then just find
0:51.2	up the courage to sort of muddle. Would you like to go out for lunch sometime? And she
0:57.1	sort of just looked at me. The room's gone dead silent and she's gone. I would never
1:03.2	date a fat, useless shit like you. Oh my God, my heart felt like I was ripped out in
1:10.0	my chest and she stomped on her. And on that walk home, we'll pass a news agency. In
1:15.8	that news agency, I see a men's health cover and I see this ripped guy, big smile on his
1:22.4	fucking face. Looks fit, happy and healthy. I was like, a biggie of that guy would never
1:27.4	have that happen to him. Bang! I was in the gym the next day.
1:32.0	That's Ben Abstacker and this is the Proof Podcast.
1:41.8	Today's guest on a plant-proof podcast is a buddy of mine from Bondi, Mr. Ben Hanseker,
