Description:

Struggling to stay consistent with strength training? Feel like you're always starting over? In this episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson deliver a realistic guide to long-term strength—not hype, not hacks—just what actually works for lasting progress, muscle, and freedom.

Key Takeaways

  • Physical freedom = the ability to adapt and train for life—not just 12-week spurts

  • You don’t need 6 weeks—you need 18–24 months of structured training

  • Muscle = your emergency fund for long-term independence

  • A coach can accelerate your growth and cut years off your learning curve

  • Training through life (injury, kids, stress) is a skill you can build

  • You’re not “off the wagon”—you’re always training, just in different seasons

  • Stop starting over. Build habits and systems that stick.
